"An original, compelling intervention into how scholars and critics understand Indigenous Literatures, their world-building capacities, and relationships with the environment, Pigott’s book is a must read for those interested in the importance of Yucatec Maya language and literature".Paul M Worley, Western Carolina University "This book seeks to introduce non-Maya readers to a large body of literature that has gone relatively unnoticed. Pigott is uniquely positioned to carry out this work, as a skilled linguist with an impressive knowledge of both the Yucatec language and cultural context. This volume is a monumental achievement in literary analysis."Allen J Christenson, Brigham Young University
