Handbook of Middle American Indians, Volume 6: Social Anthropology
Town, Community, and Multicommunity
About twenty-five years ago anthropologists began to focus on the study of small modern towns. To those who, like Redfield, were concerned with community studies, the "little" communities appeared to be "another of those prevailing and con spicuous forms in which humanity obviously come to our notice." (Redfield, 1960, p. 1). An examination of the literature shows that through the study of villages and towns we have come to understand one of the …
The Gift of Birds: Featherwork of Native South American Peoples

Response to Miksicek, Elsesser, Wuebber, Bruhns, and Hammond
A recent statement by the five authors purports to demonstrate that the fruit we previously identified as ramón was really achiote. This response points out several weaknesses in the five authors' ethnohistorical methodology that makes their identification far less secure. The original aim of our paper is restated to turn discussion away from the minor point of ramón versus achiote

Lowland Maya Subsistence: Notes from Ethnohistory and Ethnography
Recent ethnohistorical investigations by the authors as part of a larger research effort focusing on Highland Maya ethnohistory have produced information on settlement patterns and subsistence activities for the Maya of the Alta Verapaz region. The environmentally transitional nature of this area-from tropical highlands to lowlands-makes this information of potential interest to Mayanists concerned with lowland civilization. Parallel subsistence …

The structural context of religious conversion in Petén, Guatemala: Status, Community, and Multicommunity1
Why do some people change their religious affiliations, with all this may imply for family and community relations? Why are some communities more receptive than others to religious innovation? Are there any patterned relationships among social position, group organization, and community culture which help account for intra- and intercommunity variation in religious conversion? In Latin America, one area for investigating these questions is the co…

Milpas and Milperos: Implications for Prehistoric Times1
It has been stated that shifting agriculture among the Maya of the Classic Period could have been expected to produce an adequate supply of maize to support their complex civilization, and that its collapse could not have been due to the inadequacies of the method of production. This article presents a study of the contemporary milpa system among descendants of the Itzá of Petén, Guatemala: first, a description of the basic Maya approach to the e…
The Urban World View of a Tropical Forest Community in the Absence of a City, Peten, Guatemala
In recent years anthropologists have intensified their efforts in the study of complex modern communities and societies. One main interest has frequently been the study of community growth accompanied by industrialization, urbanization, and the emergence of mass society. Interesting methodological considerations are currently being given to the study of those complex societies,1 and the results so far are particularly interesting to students conc…

Political Crisis and Cultural Revitalization: The Guatemalan Case
Latin American countries are often characterized by the apparent instability of their governments. The mere mention of one of these countries may bring to mind revolutions, changes of presidents, dictatorships, revamping of constitutions, aristocratic or plantocratic domination, etc. As a result, to explain Latin American political dynamics in countries with democratic constitutions has not been a simple undertaking. It is well known that, in mos…
