{"product_id":"2000-years-of-mayan-literature-dennis-tedlock-9780520271371","title":"2000 Years of Mayan Literature","description":"Mayan literature is among the oldest in the world, spanning an astonishing two millennia from deep pre-Columbian antiquity to the present day. Here, for the first time, is a fully illustrated survey, from the earliest hieroglyphic inscriptions to the works of later writers using the Roman alphabet. Dennis Tedlock-ethnographer, linguist, poet, and award-winning author-draws on decades of living and working among the Maya to assemble this groundbreaking book, which is the first to treat ancient Mayan texts as literature. Tedlock considers the texts chronologically. He establishes that women were among the ancient writers and challenges the idea that Mayan rulers claimed the status of gods. \u003ci\u003e2000 Years of Mayan Literature \u003c\/i\u003e expands our understanding and appreciation not only of Mayan literature but of indigenous American literature in its entirety.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis Tedlock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520271378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520271371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.74h x 7.25w x 1.14d","brand":"Dennis Tedlock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056218927359,"sku":"9780520271371","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02da6541-648a-44d3-a4d4-e084f76b4afd.jpg?v=1685040152","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/2000-years-of-mayan-literature-dennis-tedlock-9780520271371","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
