Sacred Matter: Animacy and Authority in the Americas examines animism in Pre-Columbian America, focusing on how objects and places played central social roles in practices that expressed and sanctified political authority in the Andes, Amazon, and Mesoamerica.

The result of ten years of work, this book explores the origins, development, and collapse of this ancient state through the lenses of social identities and power relations.
