The rebellious tone of both epics illuminates a heretofore overlooked aspect in Latin American Indigenous colonial writing: the sense of political injustice and spiritual sedition directed equally at European-imposed religious practice and at aspects of Indigenous belief. The link between spirituality and political upheaval in Native colonial writing has not been sufficiently explored until this work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Sharonah Esther Fredrick applies a multidisciplinary approach that utilizes history, literature, archaeology, and anthropology in equal measure to situate the Mayan and Andean narratives within the paradigms of their developing civilizations. \u003ci\u003eAn Unholy Rebellion, Killing the Gods\u003c\/i\u003e decolonizes readers' perspective by setting Mayan and Andean authorship center stage and illustrates the schisms and shifts in Native civilizations and literatures of Latin America in a way that other literary studies, which relegate Native literature as a prelude to Spanish-language literature, have not yet done. By demonstrating the power of Native American philosophy within the context of the conquest of Latin America, Fredrick illuminates the profound spiritual dissension and radically conflicting ideologies of the Mesoamerican and Andean worlds before and after the Spanish conquest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharonah Esther Fredrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496236750\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496236753\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sharonah Esther Fredrick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540300624127,"sku":"9781496236753","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73dc0477-3573-4292-8648-d30ce2d7f711.jpg?v=1700587129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-unholy-rebellion-killing-the-sharonah-esther-fredrick-9781496236753","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
