Book Reviews of Mesoamerican Voices: Native Language Writings from Colonial Mexico, Yucatan, and Guatemala
Book Review: Fascinating read, even for the amature
Summary: 5 Stars
Interesting collection of native Mayan writings, covering a diverse crossection of topics from the conquest to religion, to law and morality. This documents the indian side of things. This book was written for the scholor, but as an amature Mayanist I still found it very readable and infomative.
Summary of Mesoamerican Voices: Native Language Writings from Colonial Mexico, Yucatan, and Guatemala
Translated into English, these texts were written from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries by Nahuas from central Mexico, Mixtecs from Oaxaca, Maya from Yucatan, and other groups from Mexico and Guatemala. This collection provides college teachers and students access to important new sources for the history of Latin America and Native Americans. It is the first to present the translated writings of so many native groups and to address such a variety of topics, including conquest, government, land, household, society, gender, religion, writing, law, crime, and morality.Renaissance Books
