Sinossi

Mayan Civilization explores the fascinating world of the Maya and their profound impact on Mesoamerican history. The book reveals that Mayan society wasn't a single entity but a collection of diverse city-states, like Tikal, constantly interacting through trade and warfare. These interactions fostered a rich tapestry of regional identities and cultural expressions.

 
The Maya made remarkable advancements in calendrical systems and monumental architecture, reflecting their complex worldview. This book examines Mayan civilization from its Preclassic origins to its Postclassic transformations, offering insights into their political structures, social hierarchies, and cultural achievements. It highlights the significance of Mayan hieroglyphs in documenting royal histories and religious beliefs.

 
By drawing on archaeological excavations and epigraphic inscriptions, the book presents a balanced perspective on Mayan society, acknowledging both its achievements and limitations. Structured in three parts, the book first introduces the geographic and temporal setting of the Maya, then delves into their political and social systems, and finally explores their cultural accomplishments. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of Mayan civilization, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in Mesoamerican history and the dynamics of complex societies.

    The work we do doesn’t define our worth. Imagine a world where justice includes space for rest and leisure, away from the relentless grind created by capitalism, white supremacy, and other oppressive forces. For centuries, these systems have exploited bodies for production, leading to destruction and harm by denying the inherent divinity in every human being. But now, people are waking up to this manipulation, and they’re starting to prioritize rest and healing. 
    America was built on the labor of Black and Indigenous people, whose right to rest was denied. The capitalist system grew out of violence and the theft of labor on plantations. These oppressive systems view human bodies as property, not as divine beings. We've been conditioned to believe we must work endlessly or risk falling into poverty. But there’s more beyond this narrow view.

    Nina Auerbach shows how every age embraces the vampire it needs, and gets the vampire it deserves. Working with a wide range of texts, as well as movies and television, Auerbach locates vampires at the heart of our national experience and uses them as a lens for viewing the last two hundred years of Anglo-American cultural history.“[Auerbach] has seen more Hammer movies than I (or the monsters) have had steaming hot diners, encountered more bloodsuckers than you could shake a stick at, even a pair of crossed sticks, such as might deter a very sophisticated ogre, a hick from the Moldavian boonies....Auerbach has dissected and deconstructed them with the tender ruthlessness of a hungry chef, with cogency and wit.”—Eric Korn, Times Literary Supplement”This seductive work offers profound insights into many of the urgent concerns of our time and forces us to confront the serious meanings that we invest, and seek, in even the shadiest manifestations of the eroticism of death.”—Wendy Doniger, The Nation”A vigorous, witty look at the undead as cultural icons.”—Kirkus Review”In case anyone should think this book is merely a boring lit-crit exposition...Auerbach sets matters straight in her very first paragraph. ’What vampires are in any given generation,’ she writes, ’is a part of what I am and what my times have become. This book is a history of Anglo-American culture through its mutating vampires.’...Her book really takes off.”—Maureen Duffy, New York Times Book Review
