Situated at the intersection of cultural heritage and local
community, this book enlarges our understanding of the Indigenous
peoples of southern Mexico and northern Central America who became
detached from "the ancient Maya" through colonialism, government
actions, and early twentieth-century anthropological and
archaeological research. Through grass-roots heritage programs,
local communities are reconnecting with a much valorized but
distant past. Maya Cultural Heritage explores how community
programs conceived and implemented in a collaborative style are
changing the relationship among, archaeological practice, the
objects of archaeological study, and contemporary ethnolinguistic
Mayan communities. Rather than simply describing Maya sites,
McAnany concentrates on the dialogue nurtured by these
participatory heritage programs, the new "heritage-scapes" they
foster, and how the diverse Maya communities of today relate to
those of the past.
