Art of Being In-between

""The Art of Being In-between" is a very important contribution to understandings of the role of indigenous intermediaries in political and everyday life and of their agency in responding to, even shaping, the colonial legal system as it evolved over a long period of time. Scholars specializing in colonial Mesoamerica, as well as other parts of the Americas, will find Yanna Yannakakis's arguments highly pertinent to current discussions about law, politics, and state building."--Susan Kellogg, author of "Law and the Transformation of Aztec Culture, 1500-1700"
