This book investigates the Casa de Montejo and considers the role of the building's Plateresque facade as a form of visual rhetoric that conveyed ideas about the individual and communal cultural identities in sixteenth-century Yucatan. C. Cody Barteet analyzes the facade within the complex colonial world in which it belongs, including in multicultural Yucatan and the transatlantic world. This contextualization allows for an examination of the architectural rhetoric of the facade, the design of which visualizes the contestations of autonomy and authority occurring among the colonial peoples.

Industry Reviews

"Barteet provides an unparalleled level of historical context ... In particular, Barteet excels at drawing connections between historical documents and material evidence obtained through archival and field research to the architectural sites."

--Rhetorica

"The book's five chapters broaden the picture of architecture and visual culture in postconquest Yucatan and contextualize the Montejo facade and its legacy within the political, social, cultural, and urban dynamics of the region and the larger sixteenth-century Iberian Atlantic world."

--Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture
