Unwriting Maya Literature indicate(s) that the area of indigenous literary studies is doing important work to change academia from the inside out. - Julia Brown, Chasqui In Unwriting Maya Literature Paul M. Worley and Rita M. Palacios challenge the dominant methods in the study of literature of the pan-Maya world and advance a decolonial model for understanding Maya cultural production. -Sarah Alice Campbell, Bulletin of Latin American Research This timely and groundbreaking book provides an important decolonial framework for the study of Maya and Indigenous texts. - Alicia Ivonne Estrada, California State University, Northridge This book is an original contribution to Maya, Indigenous, Latin American, and literary studies. The authors produce generative readings and insightful analyses of Maya cultural productions-whether textiles or poetry-from across the Maya region, moving beyond nation-state borders. -Gloria Elizabeth Chacon, University of California, San Diego Without doubt, Worley and Palacios's book makes critically key contributions to the fields of literary criticism and Native American and Indigenous studies. Its theoretical value and methodological approaches can also apply across multiple fields and disciplines. This book must be required for any scholar and student specializing in literature in general, as well as those specializing in Native American and Indigenous studies. This book is also suitable for any reader who wants to understand ts'iib as an alternative way of producing and recording art and knowledge from a Mayan artistic creative perspective. -Jaime Perez Gonzalez, Native American and Indigenous Studies
