5.0 out of 5 stars
An essential contribution to the Mayanist literature,

This review is from: Art and Society in a Highland Maya Community: The Altarpiece of Santiago Atitlán (Linda Schele Series in Maya and Pre-Columbian Studies) (Paperback)
Although Christenson's book is a study of Maya religion in a contemporary community, his insights are crucial for understanding the pre-Hispanic past as well. I don't believe any other book gets this close to understanding Maya views of time and the animate universe. This book must be read by every Mayanist, professional and amateur alike.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Art and Society in a Highland Maya Community: The Altarpiece of Santiago Atitlán (Linda Schele Series in Maya and Pre-Columbian Studies) (Paperback)
A very detailed record of the repair of this altar by Maya wood carvers and the resulting intermingling of Maya traditional belief and mystic symbols with Catholic beliefs.
