Drawing on an extraordinary range and depth of sources, William F. Hanks documents for the first time the crucial role played by language in cultural conquest: how colonial Mayan emerged in the age of the cross, how it was taken up by native writers to become the language of indigenous literature, and how it ultimately became the language of rebellion against the system that produced it. Converting Words includes original analyses of the linguistic practices of both missionaries and Mayas-as found in bilingual dictionaries, grammars, catechisms, land documents, native chronicles, petitions, and the forbidden Maya Books of Chilam Balam. Lucidly written and vividly detailed, this important work presents a new approach to the study of religious and cultural conversion that will illuminate the history of Latin America and beyond, and will be essential reading across disciplinary boundaries. 410 0$aAnthropology of Christianity ;$v6. 606 $aMayas$xReligion 606 $aMayas$xColonization 606 $aChristianity and other religions$zMexico$zYucata?n (State) 606 $aChristianity and culture$zMexico$zYucata?n (State) 606 $aMaya language$zMexico$zYucata?n (State)$xInfluence on Spanish 606 $aSpanish language$zMexico$zYucata?n (State)$xInfluence on Maya 606 $aCatechisms, Spanish$zMexico$zYucata?n (State) 607 $aMexico$xHistory$ySpanish colony, 1540-1810 607 $aSpain$xColonies$zAmerica$xAdministration 610 $aage of the cross. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $abilingual dictionaries. 610 $acatechisms. 610 $achristian missionaries. 610 $achristianity. 610 $acolonial mayans. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $acultural conquest. 610 $acultural conversion. 610 $aforbidden books. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory of christianity. 610 $aindigenous literature. 610 $alanguage and culture. 610 $alanguage of rebellion. 610 $alatin american history. 610 $alinguistics. 610 $amaya. 610 $anonfiction account. 610 $areligious conversion. 610 $areligious history. 610 $aspanish colonization. 610 $atranslation. 610 $ayucatec maya. 615 0$aMayas$xReligion. 615 0$aMayas$xColonization. 615 0$aChristianity and other religions 615 0$aChristianity and culture 615 0$aMaya language$xInfluence on Spanish. 615 0$aSpanish language$xInfluence on Maya. 615 0$aCatechisms, Spanish 676 $a299.7/84215 700 $aHanks$b William F$0914200 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786714703321 996 $aConverting words$93728619 997 $aUNINA
