Transitory and Dispositional Facets of Ethnic Identity in Latinx Adolescents
Objective: This research reexamines common conceptualizations of ethnic identity as a relatively stable, dispositional-like construct—in contrast to constructionist theories that emphasize the contextual, situational, and transitory nature of ethnic identity—and integrates the two frameworks. Method: Two studies investigate Latinx ethnic identity in middle school youth in inner-city New York, NY. The first study consisted of in-depth interviews w…
Flexibles, cansados y desesperanzados. Alta rotación entre los trabajadores de las maquilas rurales de Guatemala
En mis entrevistas con trabajadores de las maquilas del Altiplano central de Guatemala en los años 1990, poco tiempo después que se instalaran las primeras plantas orientadas hacia la exportación en la región, los trabajadores expresaron una mezcla de sentimientos hacia los nuevos trabajos. Estos contenían una combinación de expresiones conflictivas pero en general esperanzadas de las oportunidades potenciales de adelanto e independencia. Mis inv…
Adherence to Type 2 Diabetes Treatment Protocols Among Indigenous Women of Western Guatemala
A qualitative study was conducted at a public hospital in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, to better understand sources of lack of patient adherence to medical protocols for treating Type 2 Diabetes in indigenous women. The sources included contextual, cultural, and psychological factors. Interviews were conducted with twenty-nine women and five physicians involved in care of diabetes patients in the Department of Internal Medicine of the Hospital Regi…
Inequality of rights
We examine unequal access to the law among industrial workers in the export processing plants of the central highlands of Guatemala. Through qualitative interviews with 40 workers and a three-wave panel survey in four communities, we elicited perspectives on labor conditions and legal protections as perceived by workers. The workers, mostly young, indigenous women, are caught in the apparent fragmentation of transnational circuits of production t…

The Rule of Law and the Enforcement of the Law
Research with hundreds of mostly indigenous Maya workers in the export processing plants (maquilas) of highland Guatemala has revealed a disconnect between working conditions in the factories, perceived rights, national and international labor laws, and law enforcement. Because of this disjunction, efforts to address the plight of workers must engage the complex conditions of the current labor regimes. Maquilas operate in contexts that are virtua…
Labor Turnover among Maquiladora Workers of Highland Guatemala
In-depth interviews and a three-wave longitudinal study of workers in international export-processing plants (maquiladoras, referred to here as maquilas) of the central highlands of Guatemala were conducted to explore the effects of labor turnover on individuals and households. The data suggest a framework in which labor conditions and sources of support at home are linked to turnover of youths working in the maquila. Turnover in the study is ass…

Labor Ideologies in the International Factories of Rural Guatemala
In a recent review of labor organizing in Latin America, Henry Frundt (2002) has noted that large unions have been losing membership whereas smaller or independent ones have been growing. A World Bank study on the impact of unions in Latin America reports that participation in unions in Guatemala is very limited, with union members representing about 5 percent of all workers (Acefia, 2002).' The International Labor Organization (ILO) in Guatemala…
Maquila Age Maya
Maquila Age Maya
As rural peoples of Central America and beyond struggle to create and access new forms of market participation and means of survival under the conditions generated by structural adjustment policies, significant social and cultural shifts are taking place at the local level. This paper analyzes on three levels the impact of maquiladora industries: the region and communities, sending households, and individuals. In particular, I address the implica…
Perceptions of the Economy in the Context of Non‐traditional Agricultural Exports in the Central Highlands of Guatemala
Invisible Converts to Protestantism in Highland Guatemala
Economic Mobility Strategies among Guatemalan Peasants
A study of upward economic mobility was conducted in a Maya township of western Guatemala using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Strategies used by poor families to better their economic situations are described and analyzed. The production of nontraditional vegetable crops is discussed in the context of the likelihood of economic differentiation and classes developing within and between townships. A trend toward the develop…

Culture and History
Mayas from Guatemala and Chiapas, Mexico, narrate strikingly similar stories that are part of their oral tradition. These similarities reflect the fact that Mayas from both areas share a common cultural tradition dating to pre-Hispanic times and a basic pattern of beliefs central to the Mesoamerican cultural complex. At the same time, the stories contain notable differences that can be explained historically and traced both to pre-Hispanic or pos…
Uneven Development in Western Guatemala
In Latin America, analysts have noted patterns of uneven development within individual third world countries, independent of their peripheral or semiperipheral condition. There are numerous explanations for this phenomenon. Economic internal colonialism describes situations in which capital reaches only certain layers of the bureaucracy or socioeconomic sectors which, in turn, exploit human and other resources in the area without generating or re…
Work and Ideology in the Maya Highlands of Guatemala
An Expression of Cultural Change
The process of religious conversions to Protestantism is widespread and rapid in the underdeveloped world, and the numbers in Latin America are especially significant (Stoll 1990). It affects urban and rural peoples of varied cultural and ecological backgrounds. Often, major economic changes are either attributed or related to the significant ideological shift associated with religious conversion. The nature of the changes taking place as individ…
The 'peace of the market' in the midst of violence
The peasant markets of the western highlands of Guatemala present a field of public solidarity and constitute sources of sociocultural information. The information is expressed in the specific physical arrangements and in the types of interactions carried out in each context. The open, quasi festive plaza presents one model of and for behavior that corresponds to the traditional Indian conceptual framework, the public reunion strengthens the grou…
