Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Complete early-run sequence of Mesoamérica Nos. 1-18 (1980-1989), the influential Spanish-language journal co-published by CIRMA (Antigua, Guatemala) and Plumsock Mesoamerican Studies (Vermont). A core reference across anthropology, archaeology, ethnography, ethnohistory, sociology, demography, geography, linguistics, and regional history. Includes notable special numbers: Chiapas (No. 5), El Mirador (No. 7), and Honduras (No. 10). From the personal library of Nathaniel Tarn (1928-2024), poet, anthropologist, and translator. Educated in anthropology in Paris under Claude Lévi-Strauss and later at the University of Chicago, Tarn conducted fieldwork among the Maya of Guatemala and in Burma before turning increasingly toward a life devoted to literature and cultural criticism. He was widely recognized for his own poetry, for his influential translations of Pablo Neruda and other major international writers, and for his role in introducing world literature to English-language audiences. Tarn's blind-embossed ex libris is present in several issues, provenance that rarely surfaces outside institutional holdings. An exceptionally hard-to-assemble sequence ideal for researchers and Mesoamerican collections. Author/Editors: CIRMA; Plumsock Mesoamerican Studies; early editors incl. Christopher H.
