Writing Without Words: Alternative Literacies in Mesoamerica and the Andes Hardcover - 1994
by Elizabeth Hill Boone (Editor); Walter D. Mignolo (Editor)
From the rear cover
"This is an exceptionally comprehensive and informative work on Pre-Columbian and early colonial recording systems in Mesoamerica and the Andes. The various contributions focus on a range of hieroglyphic, logographic, and mnemonic recording systems, and there are also excellent discussions of the effects of the introduction of European writing on native recording systems. The articles touching on this latter topic all make clear the complexity of links, and the subtle interplay of changes, between record-keeping and ideology. An important and challenging book."--Gary Urton, Colgate University
