Exploring how this process is playing out in Guatemala, this book presents an innovative synthesis of the local and global factors that have led Guatemala's indigenous Maya peoples to assert and defend their cultural identity and distinctiveness within the dominant Hispanic society. Drawing on recent theories from cognitive studies, interpretive ethnography, and political economy, Edward F. Fischer looks at individual Maya activists and local cultures, as well as changing national and international power relations, to understand how ethnic identities are constructed and expressed in the modern world. At the global level, he shows how structural shifts in international relations have opened new venues of ethnic expression for Guatemala's majority Maya population. At the local level, he examines the processes of identity construction in two Kaqchikel Maya towns, Tecpán and Patzún, and shows how divergent local norms result in different conceptions and expressions of Maya-ness, which nonetheless share certain fundamental similarities with the larger pan-Maya project. Tying these levels of analysis together, Fischer argues that open-ended Maya "cultural logics" condition the ways in which Maya individuals (national leaders and rural masses alike) creatively express their identity in a rapidly changing world. 606 $aMayas$zGuatemala$xEthnic identity 606 $aMayas$zGuatemala$xPolitics and government 606 $aCakchikel Indians$xEthnic identity 606 $aCakchikel Indians$xPolitics and government 607 $aGuatemala$xPolitics and government$y1985- 607 $aGuatemala$xEconomic conditions$y1985- 615 0$aMayas$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aMayas$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aCakchikel Indians$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aCakchikel Indians$xPolitics and government. 676 $a305.897/415207281 700 $aFischer$b Edward F.$f1966-$01491719 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780326503321 996 $aCultural logics and global economics$93713663 997 $aUNINA
