An examination of Maya intellectuals in national and community affairs in Guatemala. It presents an ethnographic account of Pan-Maya cultural activism through the voices, writings and actions of is participants. Challenging the view that indigenous movements emerge as isolated, politically unified fronts, the book shows that Pan-Mayanism reflects diverse local, national and international influences. It goes on to explore the movements attempts to interweave these varied strands into political programmes to promote human and cultural rights for Guatemala's indigenous majority, and also examines the movement's many domestic and foreign critics. The book focuses on Guatemala's peace process from 1987 to 1996, and examines a group of Mayanist antiracism activists to show what is at stake for them personally, and how they have worked to promote the revitalization of Maya language and culture.
