The oral tradition of the Chamula people in southern Mexico is rich and varied. Descendents of the Ancient Maya, the Chamulas use language in a special way that expresses their understanding of the social and cosmic order to which they belong. In this innovative study in anthropology and folkore, Gary Gossen offers a brilliant analysis of the cosmology, symbollism, and verbal behavior of the Chamulas.
