- Abstract:
-
- Ms. dance-drama, of the Guatemala version of the Dance of the Conquest of Mexico. The text is unusual in that the Indians speak K'iche' and the Spaniards speak Mayanized Spanish, both in Mayan semantic couplets. The plot deals with the coming of the Spaniards to Mexico and the defeat and conversion of the Indians. The title role of Zaqi Q'oxol or "White Demon" is played by an Indian who undertakes to represent paganism in the debate (the role is comic and licentious). Text incomplete.
