Baca\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConventional scholarship on written communication positions the Western alphabet as a precondition for literacy. Thus, pictographic, non-verbal writing practices of Mesoamerica remain obscured by representations of lettered speech. This book examines how contemporary Mestiz@ scripts challenge alphabetic dominance, thereby undermining the colonized territories of \"writing.\" Strategic weavings of Aztec and European inscription systems not only promote historically-grounded accounts of how recorded information is expressed across cultures, but also speak to emerging studies on \"visual\/multimodal\" education. Baca-Espinosa argues that Mestiz@ literacies advance \"new\" ways of reading and writing, applicable to diverse classrooms of the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDAMIÁN BACA\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor of Rhetoric \u0026amp; Writing, Chicano-Latino studies, and American Indian studies at the University of Arizona.
