Sobre este artículo
Austin: University of Texas Press, 1972. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Fine/very good +. A fine first edition in a very good plus dust jacket. Brown pictorial cloth boards. Orange endpapers. From the private library of Larry Southwick, collector's marginalia pencilled near front hinge. Pages clean and bright. Sunning to dust jacket spine, no other flaws. Dust jacket now protected in a clear, removable, archival cover. Illustrated with black and white photos, drawings and tables. 194 pp. Sarah Blaffer analyzes the position of anomalies in societies in this stidy of a norm-offending, yet norm-reinforcing, specter who by his character and actions demonstrates the proper sex roles for Zinacantec men and women. A black, winged, super-sexed demon also figured in ancient Maya mythology. He was the bat deity known in Nahuatl as Tlacatzinacantli—the source of the name Zinacantan. This bat was associated with blood and death and with other sacrificing creatures, the buzzard and the hummingbird.
