Conventional scholarship on written communication positions the
Western alphabet as a precondition for literacy. Thus,
pictographic, non-verbal writing practices of Mesoamerica remain
obscured by representations of lettered speech. This book examines
how contemporary Mestiz@ scripts challenge alphabetic dominance,
thereby undermining the colonized territories of "writing."
Strategic weavings of Aztec and European inscription systems not
only promote historically-grounded accounts of how recorded
information is expressed across cultures, but also speak to
emerging studies on "visual/multimodal" education. Baca-Espinosa
argues that Mestiz@ literacies advance "new" ways of reading and
writing, applicable to diverse classrooms of the twenty-first
century.
