ANTH 50.42 Indigenous Responses to Colonialism: Maya and Maori

This course compares how Maori in New Zealand and Maya in Mexico and Guatemala survived European colonialism to become distinct peoples in a world of postcolonial nation states. Comparison addresses both the diversity of indigenous worlds and changes in European colonialism between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries through the study of cultures as emergent interactions of meaning and power within and between groups, and of racism as the rationalization of institutionalized inequalities across human differences.
