Reading Popol Wuj A Decolonial Guide

Examining sections from thirteen translations of the Maya text Popol Wuj, Nathan C. Henne's book provides a new and much-needed interdisciplinary guide to critically reading and teaching this foundational text." - Alicia Ivonne Estrada, co-editor of U.S. Central Americans: Reconstructing Memories, Struggles and Communities of Resistance

"A major achievement in Maya studies scholarship. Henne provides a convincing, compelling case regarding how translation shapes non-Maya engagement with Popol Wuj. Henne outlines ample evidence for not just how but also why we must read Popol Wuj within its particular linguistic and cultural context. A profound challenge to scholars and readers that will resonate for years to come." - Paul M. Worley, co-author of Unwriting Maya Literature: Ts'Íib as Recorded Knowledge
