Writing without words : alternative literacies in Mesoamerica and the Andes

Elizabeth Hill Boone (Editor), Walter Mignolo (Editor)
"This interdisciplinary collection of articles focuses on pictorial and iconic systems of the Maya, Mixtec, Aztec, and Inca, and the social contexts of writing during the colonial period, to challenge western conceptualizations of art, writing and literacy. The final papers offer stimulating discussions of interactions between European and indigenous writing systems"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57
