"Reading Popol Wuj offers readers and teachers a guide to understanding the Popol Wuj, one of the oldest and most important texts from the pre-Conquest Americas. Originally transcribed into Latin by a Dominican priest in 1700, the by Popol Wuj records the creation stories of K'iche Maya people. The original Latin text and its many more recent translations have been key for scholars and students seeking to understand Maya culture and worldview. Most recently, scholars of global literatures and ethnic studies have incorporated the Popol Wuj into classroom curricula as an example of a foundational non-Western text. In this book, Henne, who was born and raised in Guatemala and is fluent in the K'iche Maya language, offers a decolonial framework for understanding the Popol Wuj, and he provides tools for better understanding the text from an Indigenous perspective"-- Provided by publisher
