Abstract
This is a study of continuity and change in Mayan culture. Kintz examines Mayan kinship, economy, political leadership, and religion in each of seven historical periods between A.D. 600 and 1987. She writes in an evocative style from the perspective of a contemporary observer. The last chapter summarizes the overall changes that occurred between the prehistoric, colonial, and modern periods. She includes a seven-page glossary of Mayan, Yucatec, and Spanish terms.
