Book Reviews of Art and Society in a Highland Maya Community: The Altarpiece of Santiago Atitl?n (The Linda Schele Series in Maya and Pre-Columbian Studies)
Book Review: An essential contribution to the Mayanist literature
Summary: 5 Stars
Although Christenson's book is a study of Maya religion in a contemporary community, his insights are crucial for understanding the pre-Hispanic past as well. I don't believe any other book gets this close to understanding Maya views of time and the animate universe. This book must be read by every Mayanist, professional and amateur alike.
