Insights into the games they played, the education they received, the foods they harvested, and the popular riddles and poems they recited and wrote, as well as the sacrificial rituals they performed, enable the reader to gain a better understanding of this complex culture. Carrasco illustrates the significance of this culture that has never truly died by tracing its impact and influence on modern-day Mexican society.
