Title
Mayas in Postwar Guatemala: Harvest of Violence Revisited (Contemporary American Indian Studies),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Like the original Harvest of Violence, published in 1988, this volume reveals how the contemporary Mayas contend with crime, political violence, internal community power struggles, and the broader impact of transnational economic and political policies in Guatemala. However, this work, informed by longterm ethnographic fieldwork in Mayan communities and commitment to conducting research in Mayan languages, places current anthropological analyses in relation to Mayan political activism and key Mayan intellectuals research and criticism. Illustrating specifically how Mayas in this postwar period conceive of their social and political place in Guatemala, Mayas working in factories, fields, and markets, and participating in local, communitylevel politics provide critiques of the government, the Maya movement, and the general state of insecurity and social and political violence that they continue to face on a daily basis. Their critical assessments and efforts to improve political, social, and economic conditions illustrate their resiliency and positive, nonviolent solutions to Guatemalas ongoing problems that deserve serious consideration by Guatemalan and US policy makers, international nongovernment organizations, peace activists, and even academics studying politics, social agency, and the survival of indigenous people.CONTRIBUTORSAbigail E.
