The Transnational Construction of Mayanness: Reading Modern Mesoamerica through US Archives
The Contested Crown: Repatriation Politics between Europe and Mexico
The so-called Penacho de Moctezuma has been a source of mystery for centuries. Did this feather headdress actually belong to Moctezuma? Is it really a headdress, or is it a banner or some other form of regalia? Was it a “gift” to the Spanish conqueror Hernán Cortés? Cortés most likely forwarded the headdress to Emperor Charles V in Europe, where it has remained in Austria to this very day. By the late sixteenth century, the object could be found …
Health and Healing in the Early Modern Iberian World: A Gendered Perspective
Margaret E. Boyle and Sarah E. Owens's edited volume offers us a peek into the hospitals, homes, and medicine cabinets of the early modern Iberian world to examine the concepts of health and healing from a gendered perspective. The book consists of an introduction and ten essays that cover several geographical settings in Spain and Latin America from the early 1500s to the late 1800s. The work is also broad in its interdisciplinary approach; it d…

The Market for Mesoamerica: Reflections on the Sale of Pre-Columbian Antiquities
In 2009, a resident of Uaxactún, Guatemala, delivered a ceramic vessel to a private collector in the area. Looted and severely fragmented, the Maya antiquity was clumsily glued back together. The object was a rare find. It had been produced for a bloodletting ritual of a young man—there are few examples of Maya vessels created for this specific purpose. It also bears the signature of White Macaw, the scribe who made it, along with his portrait as…

Indigenismo
As a multifaceted intellectual current ideology in Latin America, which aims to defend and valorize the Indians, indigenismo has influenced many social, cultural, and political developments in the region. Although indigenismo can be traced to the period soon after the Spanish conquest, when a small minority of Spaniards sought to protect the native people, it is usually associated with the egalitarian and revolutionary movements that surfaced in …
Funerals, Festivals, and Cultural Politics in Porfirian Mexico
Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz did not rule by repression and co-optation alone. As Matthew Esposito’s book on national commemorations and state funerals reveals, the Díaz regime relied on memorialization, “the active construction of official memory through the use of state ceremony,” for its legitimacy and survival (p. 4). Over the course of its lengthy 35 years of rule, the dictatorship performed countless commemorations and held 110 state fune…
Forjando Patrimonio: The Making of Archaeological Patrimony in Porfirian Mexico
This article examines the state project to gather pre-Hispanic artifacts in Mexico's National Museum during the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz (1876-1910). It focuses on the government project as part of a larger effort aimed at constructing an official national history and image. Through antiquity and the control of its remains, Porfirian elites sought to present Mexico as a modern, scientific, and sovereign nation with a sophisticated, ancient p…
Ciudadanía y derechos indígenas en América Latina: Poblaciones, estados y orden internacional
In October 2006, European, Latin American, and indigenous scholars gathered at Madrid’s Centro de Estudios Políticos y Constitucionales for a conference on the rights and citizenship of Latin America’s native peoples. One result was this timely, noteworthy volume. Editor Laura Giraudo has set out to “enrich the debate on indigenous rights in Latin America” by presenting multiple “visions” and “different angles” rather than a “homogeneous account”…
