As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya, Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, \u0026amp;Ntilde;ahÑu, Totonaco, and Huichol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolume Three contains plays by six Mexican indigenous writers. Their plays appear first in their native language, followed by English and Spanish translations. Montemayor and Frischmann have abundantly annotated the Spanish, English, and indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that introduce the work of each playwright and discuss the role of theater within indigenous communities. These supporting materials make the anthology especially accessible and interesting for nonspecialist readers seeking a greater understanding of Mexico's indigenous peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\/Agradecimientos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbbreviations\/Abreviaturas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegarding the Indigenous Languages and Alphabets in This Volume\/Acerca de los idiomas y alfabetos indÍ\u003cbr\u003egenas de este volumen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTheater, Which Once Was Dance \/ El teatro, que alguna vez fue danza (Carlos Montemayor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Question of Balance: Indigenous Theater at the Conjunction of Millennia \/ Buscando el equilibrio: Teatro indÍ\u003cbr\u003egena en la conjunciÓ\u003cbr\u003en de milenios (Donald Frischmann)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.
