The important cultural role of an ancient, endangeredplant
Underthe Shade of Thipaakis the first book to explore the cultural role of cycads, plants that evolvedover 250 million years ago and are now critically endangered, in the ancientand modern Mesoamerican and Caribbean worlds. This volume demonstrates howthese ancient plants have figured prominently in regional mythologies, rituals,art, and foodways from the Pleistocene-Holocenetransition to the present.
Contributors discuss the importance of cycadsfrom a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including biology and populationgenetics, historical ecology, archaeology, art history, linguistics, andconservation and sustainability. Chapters pay special attention to the enduringconceptual relationships between cycads and maize. This book demonstrates how aclose examination of cycad-human relationships can motivate conservation of thesethreatened plants in ways that engage local communities, as well as promote thesignificance of ancient and modern practices that unite nature and culture.Contributors: Francisco Barona-Gómez | Emanuel Bojorquez Quintal | Mark A.
