Book Description:
|
The first anthology to present the full trajectory of new interpretations of the glyphic writings of the Maya through the poetic response to events in modern Chiapas, here is a history of Mexico and Central America from the Indian point of view. "In the Language of Kings" is a source of cultural strength for those who trace their ancestry to Mesoamerica, and an essential resource for historians and anthropologists.
