As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to
reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous
writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their
ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the
long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of
Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being
widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples
coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of
intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking,
three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of
writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya,
Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra
Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, Ñahñu, Totonaco, and
Huichol. Volume Three contains plays by six Mexican indigenous
writers. Their plays appear first in their native language,
followed by English and Spanish translations. Montemayor and
Frischmann have abundantly annotated the Spanish, English, and
indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that
introduce the work of each playwright and discuss the role of
theater within indigenous communities. These supporting materials
make the anthology especially accessible and interesting for
nonspecialist readers seeking a greater understanding of Mexico's
indigenous peoples.
