Description: Emergency : Reading the Popol Vuh in a Time of Crisis, Hardcover by Garcia, Edgar, ISBN 0226818608, ISBN-13 9780226818603, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "Written during the lockdown in Chicago in the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, these essays consider the Popol Vuh as a work that was also written during a time of feverish social, political, and epidemiological crisis as Spanish missionaries and colonial military deepened their conquest of indigenous peoples and cultures in Mesoamerica. What separates the Popol Vuh from many other creation texts is the disposition of the gods engaged in creation.
