Mayan civilization once flourished in what is today Guatemala and the Yucatan. The Mayan sacred book the Popol Vuh tells of the creation of the universe, the world of gods and demi-gods and the creation of mankind.

The book presents a compelling critique of conventional anthropological studies, emphasizing Indigenous and postcolonial viewpoints. It challenges established narratives and methodologies, advocating for a more inclusive understanding of cultures that respects Indigenous voices and experiences. By examining the implications of colonialism on anthropology, it seeks to reshape the discipline and promote a more equitable approach to cultural studies.
