Description
Book Synopsis
Cosmology or cosmological ideas are often sought to solve problems in our daily lives. This book aims to rethink the topic of cosmology in anthropology through an ethnographic description of the many entanglements of cosmological ideas and the personal and political lives of individuals within the K'ich'e Maya community of Momostenango, Guatemala. It addresses the question of why they turn to cosmology in an everyday context and how 'efficient' it is. It also shows the way Indigenous cosmological ideas are echoed by contemporary philosophical and scientific conceptions.Review Quotes
"This book constitutes an outstanding anthropological work delving on the current cosmo-sociopolitical configurations by K'iche' Maya. It is full of keen observations ... an effervescent account of current local political and cultural nonlinear transformations." - Alessandro Questa Rebolledo, Universidad Iberoamericana
