(Louis Herbert) Gray, Louis Herbert Moore, George Foot 1851 1931 The Mythology of All Races, Vol. 11: Latin-American Produced by Clare Graham & Marc D'Hooghe at Free Literature "The Mythology of All Races, Vol. 11: Latin-American" by Hartley Burr Alexander is a scholarly compilation examining the myths and religious beliefs of the indigenous peoples of Latin America, likely written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses primarily on the rich mythologies of regions such as the Antilles, Mexico, and the Andes, showcasing the diverse cultural heritage shaped by both native traditions and Spanish influence. The text aims to provide an overview of the primary mythological themes while also addressing the complex socio-cultural contexts in which they developed. At the start of the volume, the author discusses the challenges of defining "Latin American" mythology due to the vast diversity and distinct cultural identities of the indigenous groups. Alexander highlights the differences and similarities in mythological beliefs, particularly among the Taïno, Aztec, and Inca, while also mentioning the historical impacts of colonization on these systems of belief. The opening chapters introduce the cosmological stories and key deities of various cultures, such as the Taïno’s creation myths and the rich pantheon of the Aztecs, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of how these mythologies reflect their peoples' understanding of the world around them.
