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…

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.

The study shows that turnover exemplifies worker agency, specifically in resistance to oppressive forms of production in global capital…

The hardships posed by urban poverty are documented with a particular focus on women as they struggle to meet their families' needs. The experiences of women in a unique…
Crosscurrents in Indigenous Spirituality
The resurgence of indigenous cultures and the reappearance of their ancient spiritualities, during the 1990s, is of great interest to social scientists. Several such cultures are featured in this book. The indigenous populations of struggling multi-ethnic "democracies" in Latin America are demanding to be integrated into the national mainstream, together with their holistic values of family, economics and ecology. Institutional Christianity is be…
