3.0 out of 5 stars
Still an ancient anthropology perspective,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Engendering Mayan History: Kaqchikel Women as Agents and Conduits of the Past, 1875-1970 (Paperback)
This book is really good at teaching you about some Kaqchikel culture if you know nothing about the region. However, the author is really coming from the age-old anthropological view of framing these women as "sub-alterns" that have to be picked back up into modern society. If you can read between the lines you'll enjoy the information but if you want women's stories and voices, look elsewhere. There is not nearly enough of this, nor enough information about the methodology to really get a sense of what was going on research-wise.
