Localidad y globalidad en el mundo maya prehispánico e indígena contemporáneo

About this book

Twelve essays on social identity, gender and space in various historic and geographic contexts, ranging from pre-Colombian age to modern-day Mayan communities. First half deals with space, location and identity (social identity and daily life in late Classical period in Honduras; social identity in urban mosaic of Chunchucmil, Yucatan; social identity in contemporary archaeology; and others). Second contains papers on gender in domestic and ritual life (ethno-archaeological studies of domestic activities and spaces in Northern Yucatan, masculine and regional identity in phallic sculptures of northern lowlands, etc.).
