The Maya Textile Tradition provides an in-depth look at the life and art of the Maya of southern Mexico and Central America. This book examines the history of the one art form which persisted virtually intact … textiles …. and provides an in-depth look at the Maya as they exist today.
Classic Maya civilization, unrivaled in the New World for its architectural and astronomical mastery, intricate writing systems, and brilliant art forms, disintegrated some 2,000 years ago. The textiles give a glimpse of the civilization.
Additionally, ecologist James D. Nations introduces us to the history and ecology of the Maya world; Guatemalan author and curator Linda Asturias de Barrios discusses how the old ways are still part of the culture.
