ANTH 35 Maya Indians Under Mexican and Guatemalan Rule
This course explores the contemporary Maya cultures of Mexico and Guatemala against the backdrop of nearly five hundred years of conquest, colonialism, revolution, and nation-building. Given the contrasting, at times deeply antagonistic, cultures and identities that have resulted, this course focuses on issues of Maya ethnicity, inequality, and nationalism in these two closely related yet historically distinct countries.
Prerequisite
One course in Anthropology or Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies.
