The Racialization of Food
This paper explores the co-constitution of systems of social distinction, culinary habits, and political economies. During the Depression in British Honduras (Belize), unemployment, hunger, and malnutrition ignited panic, unrest, and uprising.

The Sense of Tranquility
While bodily practice has become a major area of investigation in cultural anthropology, its connection to ethnicity remains to be explored. Among Yucatec Maya, however, one cultural value, tranquility, is enacted through bodily practices and also serves as an axis for ethnic distinction.

Through their religious worship and life narratives, Yucatecan Pentecostal converts resolved …
