Abstract
This chapter broadly outlines Mesoamerican history and the living conditions, society, and way of life of the Nahuas who lived in the Central Highlands of Mexico in the thirteenth through sixteenth centuries. Challenging traditional presentations of Nahua culture as homogeneous, Nahua religion is presented as highly diverse within a varied and multireligious Mesoamerican and Postclassic Central Mexican context.
