Full description for Pluralizing Ethnography
Concentrating on the continuities and discontinuities of cultural and linguistic studies and identities, contributors present ten essays on the Maya of Guatemala and Mexico. The essays come from a seminar held in October of 2000 which sought to compare the histories and emerging cultural futures of groups of people whose experiences were not at all the same, despite their ethnic identity. Essay topics include a comparative study of nineteenth-century Maya under Mexican and Guatemalan rule, the politics of Bible translation in Mexico, recent research and discourse among the Chiapas Maya, the Maya quest for autonomy, and the effect of transnationalism and the global market economy in highland Guatemala.
