The Indigenous Totonac residents of the region know well that the site's relative absence from discussions of global archaeology and heritage belies a century of wide-ranging labor, extractive industries, and commodity exchange. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on ethnographic interviews and rarely consulted administrative archives, \u003ci\u003eIn the Shadow of El Tajín\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of how a landscape of ancient mounds and ruins became an archaeological site, brings to light the network of actors who made it happen, and reveals the Indigenous histories silenced in the process. By drawing on the insights of Indigenous Totonac peoples who have lived and worked in El Tajín for more than a century, Sam Holley-Kline explores historical processes that made both the archaeological site and regional historical memory. \u003ci\u003eIn the Shadow of El Tajín\u003c\/i\u003e decenters discussions of the state and tourism industry by focusing on the industries and workers who are integral to the functioning of the site but who have historically been overlooked by studies of the ancient past. Holley-Kline recovers local Indigenous histories in dialogue with broader trends in scholarship to demonstrates the rich recent past of El Tajín, a place better known for its ancient history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Holley-Kline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496234626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496234629\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 11\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Samuel Holley-Kline","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46961961926911,"sku":"9781496234629","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e77ecc56-58da-4cf7-aaed-70f471ed05ae.jpg?v=1750648904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-shadow-of-el-samuel-holley-kline-9781496234629","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
