Halfway to Cancun
In defining the ‘peasant’, reference is generally made to an unbalanced and inferior relationship with a larger economic, political and cultural unity. The exact nature of this relationship, however, continues to be unclear. The distinct features of the ‘dominant’ and corresponding ‘peasant’ sectors and the intricacies of their interdependence must be identified and analysed in order to reach a more complete theoretical understanding of complex s…
Tourists as colonizers in Quintana Roo, Mexico
Spatial appropriation is an age‐old strategy for domination by one group over another. In the context of national states, territorial expansion is a common manifestation of this. Spain's colonization process began in the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico in the sixteenth century but remained incomplete in this area. Independent Mexico's struggle for control over the Mayan landscape of the Yucatan continued through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries…
"Latin" America is dead. Long liveNuestra América
The term “Latin America”, coined in the nineteenth century, encodes multiple understandings of this “region”. Although the Latin American region is salient in Canada and the USA for cultural, economic, and political reasons, there is little reflection on the meaning of this term. This paper traces the evolution of this “region”, showing that the relationships and subjectivities involved in its definition have changed such that the imagined homoge…
"Competing discourses of the "Maya Past
The use of the "Maya past" for tourism marketing purposes has been a successful tool for attracting international visitors to Mexico for decades. Images of the Maya zone emerge, in part, from an academic focus on the "Maya past" that includes curiosity about the so-called "collapse" of the Classic Maya civilization. The Ancient Maya are seen as "mysterious" and their society as "enigmatic". But the voices of the almost thirty million Maya people …
Negotiating Identities in Modern Latin America
The spatial and temporal dimensions of a rural landscape
This article presents a case study of rural landscape concepts found in the indigenous Yucatec Maya area of Mexico. Of particular interest in this article is the contrast between the Maya conceptualization of the forest as essential to sustainable agriculture and a Western notion of the forest as the antithesis of agriculture. The former has created a tropical forest that is a product of Maya management and the basis of a sustained Maya society, …

Espacios mayas de familia y comunidad
Despite the fundamental importance of the concepts of family and community in the study of human societies, there still exists a certain degree of theoretical confusion regarding the definition and construction of these social units. This article presents the results of a study of the relationship between these social units, based on an examination of the relationship between the physical spaces generated on the basis of the organizational princi…
