Product Information

Winner of: IBPA 2016 Benjamin Franklin Gold Award, Multicultural Through the pages of this incredibly-researched history and photo gallery, the world of the Maya lives on through the lens of its culture and costume, still seen today in the state of Chiapas in southern Mexico. In a region battered by centuries of invasions, subjugations, civil wars, and severe economic hardship, the Maya continue to celebrate and sustain their heritage in extraordinary traditional dress and festivals that are both riotous and sacred. Their ever-evolving, colorful, beautifully-handcrafted dress features exquisite gauze fabrics that trace their origins from the 9th century AD to a present-day lowland village; festival wear that blends Roman Catholicism and paganism, reverence and mockery; gloriously brocaded and embroidered wardrobes that tie communities together; and embroidery techniques that reflect displacements and migrations--in other words, fabrics that trace the history and evolution of a people. Two Maya experts and a photographer painstakingly record the remnants of influence from the Aztecs, Spanish conquistadors, Catholic missionaries, and the unseen gods and spirits that guide Maya culture today.

Reviews
"Walter F. Morris, Jr. speaks with a voice of authority derived from his thirty years of experience working with Maya textile artists in Chiapas, Mexico. His coauthor, Carol Karasik, brings her own experience of the country and its people and an accessible writing style to the book, and Janet Schwartz's beautiful images speak their own language about Maya clothing in bright detail. Maya Threads covers the clothing and customs of Chiapas from ancient to present times, and the changes that have occurred as new materials and influences have affected the culture." --Margot Blum Schevill, coauthor, Maya Textiles of Guatemala, "Contemporary indigenous dress in Chiapas is a fascinating amalgam of pre-Hispanic Maya traditions and influences from the modern market economy, filtered by the creativity of the people who make and wear it. The authors [of this book] lovingly describe how and why it changed from then to now, based on long-time familiarity with Chiapas as well as new field work and interviews. Together with the gorgeous photographs, there is significantly more detail on the subject here than ever before, in some cases with the exact year and innovator identified. It is warmly recommended to travelers and scholars alike."  --Ann Pollard Rowe, author, A Century of Change in Guatemalan Textiles, "Immeasurably deep, endlessly layered and nuanced, aesthetically beautiful, resonating with the grounding of ancient ways yet in constant, dynamic flux, the world of the traditional Maya is incomprehensible to those who have not breathed it into their beings. Truly rare are those from the outside who understand it, rarer still are those who can respectfully transmit the complexity of this society to those of us on the outside. Chip Morris is one of these rare individuals, intelligent and humble, with humor and profound insight gained through close to four decades of life in the Chiapan highlands. He is also an excellent storyteller and he and his coauthor, Carol Karasik, do honor to that skill as well as the rich culture they share with us in this book."  --Eric Mindling, Traditions Mexico Cultural Tours, Oaxaca, Mexico, "Immeasurably deep, endlessly layered and nuanced, aesthetically beautiful, resonating with the grounding of ancient ways yet in constant, dynamic flux, the world of the traditional Maya is incomprehensible to those who have not breathed it into their beings.

Well worth having!" --Gillian Vogelsang-Eastwood, Director, Textile Research Centre, "Contemporary indigenous dress in Chiapas is a fascinating amalgam of pre-Hispanic Maya traditions and influences from the modern market economy, filtered by the creativity of the people who make and wear it.
