Description

"Mayan People Within and Beyond Boundaries explores the Maya of Yucatan, the Maya of academic institutions and the Maya of the tourist industry. It examines the interplay between the local and the external, academic categories of the Maya and seeks to transcend the paradoxical and incongruent relationship between the social spaces that breathe life into the categories. Mayan People Within and Beyond Boundaries pays close attention to the immediacy of fieldwork in examining the relationship between the local perceived, practiced meanings and the external perspectives on the Maya, thereby bringing recent advances in anthropology to Maya anthropology and history."--BOOK JACKET.
