This work analyzed the intertwined structure of civil and religious leadership within Mesoamerican societies, examining how traditional political and religious offices were adapted and merged during the colonial period. Carrasco documented a centuries-old tradition of blending spiritual and temporal authority within the indigenous social and political landscape of Mesoamerica, a system that continued to evolve even after the Spanish conquest.
