Mayan literature is among the oldest in the world\, spanning an astonishing two millennia from deep pre-Columbian antiquity to the present day. Here\, for the first time\, is a fully illustrated survey\, from the earliest hieroglyphic inscriptions to the works of later writers using the Roman alphabet. Dennis Tedlock--ethnographer\, linguist\, poet\, and award-winning author--draws on decades of living and working among the Maya to assemble this groundbreaking book\, which is the first to treat ancient Mayan texts as literature. Tedlock considers the texts chronologically. He establishes that women were among the ancient writers and challenges the idea that Mayan rulers claimed the status of gods. 2000 Years of Mayan Literature expands our understanding and appreciation not only of Mayan literature but of indigenous American literature in its entirety.

Excerpted\:My name is Bill Cody Ayon. I'm Tsitsistas\, Southern Cheyenne\, a human being. I was brought up and given language\, customs\, and songs
that honor those who have given their service to America's military\,
to my tribe\, and to all indigenous people. It is with this
background I follow the military road-like my father\, my uncles\, and
my ancestors before me. To serve my family\, my tribe\, and my
country is the greatest honor of all. Tradition has mandated
this for me-from the echoes of warriors from the Little Bighorn to
Iwo Jima to the streets of Baghdad.

As a young immigrant\, Fred Harvey worked his way up from dishwasher to household name. His eating houses and hotels along the Atchison\, Topeka\, and Santa Fe railroad were patronized by princes\, presidents\, and countless ordinary travelers looking for the best cup of coffee in the country. Harvey's staff of carefully screened single young women-the celebrated Harvey Girls-were the country's first female workforce and became genuine Americana\, even inspiring an MGM musical starring Judy Garland.
Inspiring\, instructive\, and hugely entertaining\, Appetite for America is historical biography that is as richly rewarding as a slice of fresh apple pie-and every bit as satisfying.
