Dwelling, Identity, and the Maya offers a new perspective on the
ancient Maya that emphasizes the importance of dwelling as a social
practice. Contrary to contemporary notions of the self as
individual and independent, the identities of the ancient Maya grew
from their everyday relations and interactions with other people,
the houses and temples they built, and the objects they created,
exchanged, cherished, and left behind. Using excavations of ancient
Chunchucmil as a case study, it investigates how Maya personhood
was structured and transformed in and beyond the domestic sphere
and examines the role of the past in the production of contemporary
Maya identity.
