Yet they very often seem bound to an unrecoverable past, as stereotypes prevent some from linking the words "indigenous" and "intellectual" together. Not so, according to author Kelly S. McDonough, at least not for native speakers of Nahuatl, one of the most widely spoken and best-documented indigenous languages of the Americas. This book focuses on how Nahuas have been deeply engaged with the written word ever since the introduction of the Roman alphabet in the early sixteenth century. Dipping into distinct time periods of the past five hundred years, this broad perspective allows McDonough to show the heterogeneity of Nahua knowledge and writing as Nahuas took up the pen as agents of their own discourses and agendas. McDonough worked collaboratively with contemporary Nahua researchers and students, reconnecting the theorization of a population with the population itself. The Learned Ones describes the experience of reading historic text with native speakers today, some encountering Nahua intellectuals and their writing for the very first time. It intertwines the written word with oral traditions and embodied knowledge, aiming to retie the strand of alphabetic writing to the dynamic trajectory of Nahua intellectual work"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aUPCC book collections on Project MUSE. 606 $aNahuatl literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNahuas$xIntellectual life 606 $aNahuas$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aNahua philosophy 615 0$aNahuatl literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNahuas$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aNahuas$xHistory. 615 0$aNahua philosophy. 676 $a897/.45 686 $aLIT004100$aSOC021000$aHIS025000$2bisacsh 700 $aMcDonough$b Kelly S.$f1970-$01507239 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791169803321 996 $aThe learned ones$93737793 997 $aUNINA
