The Gifted Passage establishes that adolescent men in Maya art were the subjects and makers of hieroglyphics, painted ceramics, and murals, in works that helped to shape and reflect masculinity in Maya civilization. The political volatility of the Classic Maya period gave male adolescents valuable status as potential heirs, and many of the most precious surviving ceramics likely celebrated their coming-of-age rituals. The ardent hope was that youths would grow into effective kings and noblemen, capable of leadership in battle and service in royal courts. Aiming to shift mainstream conceptions of the Maya, Houston argues that adolescent men were not simply present in images and texts, but central to both."-- $c Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Coming of age $z Central America $x Art. 650 0 $a Maya art. 650 0 $a Mayas. 650 0 $a Indian art $z Central America. 650 0 $a Young men in art. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706013505.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116040302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1EB0152370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
