Maya resurgence in Guatemala

by Wilson, Richard

"Important work blends relational and essentialist approaches to the study of ethnicity. The outcome is an analysis of identity, religious conversion, armed insurrection, and State repression that takes into account constrained meanings (material and historical processes, both real and invented) and processual meanings (creatively living and dealing with the exigencies of the moment)"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
