520 8 |a "The book treats a wide range of texts - the Historia eclesiastica indiana, the Confessionario Mayor, the Coloquios de los Doce, and more - both by renowned Franciscan figures such as Geronimo de Mendieta, Alonso de Molina, Bernardino de Sahagun, and by Nahua grammarians Antonio Valeriano de Azcapotzalco, Andres Leonardo de Tlatelolco, and others. Diaz Balsera engages the cultural constraints of all the actors in the episodes she relates in order to show how the exchange between them resulted in the appropriation and/or alteration of the Spanish discourses of spiritual domination - sometimes even in their breakdown - and how it brought about the emergence of Nahua Christian subjects that would never fully leave behind their ancient ways of relating to the gods." 
520 8 |a The author explores not only the imposition of a Eurocentric worldview upon the Nahua but also the hybridization of this view as the spiritual colonizer attempted to encompass a new non-Western constituency and the latter interpreted Christianity according to its own cultural paradigms." 
520 8 |a "The Pyramid under the Cross looks at the epic project of Christianization as well as the limits of the Spanish spiritual colonizers' power to accomplish it. The book focuses on activities of Franciscan missionaries who, as the first religious order to arrive, occupied the most important political and social centers in the Valley of Mexico and set the strategies of evangelization that others would follow. One of such activities, the Nahua theater of evangelization, is represented as an exemplary case of the inevitable cultural negotiation involved in the missionary process. 
520 1 |a "As the driving force in early European expansionism, Spain was concerned not only with the political and economic subordination of the New World native but also with the need to possess his soul. In this book, Viviana Diaz Balsera tells the story of this zealous, spiritual endeavor during its first one hundred years in Central Mexico and of how it transformed the European self and the indigenous other in ways sometimes unforeseen for both."
