Offers A Strong Critique Of Traditional Anthropological Studies From An Indigenous And Postcolonial Mayalogue, Native Mayan Scholar Victor Montejo Provides An Alternative Reading And Interpretation Of Cultures, Challenging Western Ethnocentric Approaches That Have Marginalized Native Knowledge And Worldviews In The Past. He Proposes Instead A Methodology For Studying Culture As A Unified Whole, A Radical Departure From The Compartmentalized Sections Of Knowledge Recognized By Western Scientific Tradition. Offering A Strong Critique Of Traditional Anthropological Studies, With Its Terms And Categories That Have Denigrated Indigenous Cultures Throughout The Centuries, Montejo''s Postcolonial Work Aims To Dismantle The Colonialist Construction Of Indigenous Cultures, Giving Way To A Native Approach That Balances Insider And Outsider Descriptions Of A Particular Culture.
