Description:
xiv+271 pages with maps, tables, illustrations, bibliography, appendices and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's grey cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. This work presents an in-depth description of the cult of the saints as practiced in Chignautla, an Indian community in the central highlands of Mexico. Data gathered over twenty years of field research and the rich interpretations offered allow the reader to explore Chignauteco cosmology as it is revealed in the elaborate rituals held to honor the saints. The primacy the author assigns to the perception the Indians have of their world and the place of the saints within it reveals the vitality of an indigenous world-view that has endured since the time of the conquest. Condition: A fine copy in like jacket.
