Renewing the Maya World Expressive Culture in a Highland Town Hardcover - 2000

by Garrett W. Cook


From the publisher

Each year in the Highland Guatemala town of Santiago Momostenango, Maya religious societies, dance teams, and cofradias perform the annual cycle of rituals and festivals prescribed by Costumbre (syncretised Maya Christian religion), which serves to renew the cosmic order. In this richly detailed ethnography, the author explores how these festivals of Jesucristo and the saints derive from and re-enact three major ancient Maya creation myths, thus revealing patterns of continuity between contemporary expressive culture and the myths, rituals, and iconography of the classic and post-classic Maya.
