Place and Identity in Classic Maya Narratives (Paperback)

Understanding the ways in which human communities define themselves in relation to landscapes has been one of the crucial research questions in anthropology. This book addresses this question in the context of the classic Maya culture that thrived in the lowlands of the Yucatan peninsula and adjacent parts of Guatemala, Belize, and Western Honduras from 350 to 900 CE. Tokovinine explores the striking juxtaposition of similar cultural values and distinct political identities by looking at how identities were formed and maintained in relation to place, thus uncovering what classic Maya landscapes were like in the words of the people who created and experienced them.
