The boards are in near fine condition. 9 x 6, 245 pages, 21 ounces XX [From the text] The subject of this book is traje, or Maya dress, and its central and active role in the lives of people in the town of Tecpan Guatemala. More than mere cloth, traje is a powerful and densely meaningful expression of social identity and a vital element of life in the highlands. I still believe in the basic truth of this statement, despite the fact that, in the twenty years since I first articulated my ideas on the subject, many things have changed - in Guatemala, in the discipline of anthropology, and in some of my own thinking. Over the past two decades, the eternal tyranny of life in Guatemala has taken natural and human forms. The earthquake that devastated the central highlands in 1976 left between 20,000 and 25,000 people dead and whole towns destroyed. Many of these same communities had barely started to recover from nature's violence when waves of human violence overcame the highlands, leaving more than 100,000 persons dead or missing and over one million people displaced. A whole generation has been educated in what people call the reality of life in Guatemala by seeing young soldiers toting large guns in the streets of their towns, hearing gunfire in the mountains at night, learning of family members and neighbors killed or abducted, and witnessing the horrors of violent death and destruction firsthand. While the Maya have not been the only people affected by the violence, they have suffered disproportionately and remain subordinate to the non-Maya in the Guatemalan state. On a more positive note, many people who were small children when I first met them have gone on in school, surpassing their parents' educational levels and graduating into jobs as teachers, social workers, agricultural specialists, church workers, and administrators. In fact, the battle for indigenous rights and for the articulation of issues pertinent to the indigenous community in Guatemala is now being fought with notable success by skilled and articulate Maya. These are women and men who are becoming increasingly savvy in the internal workings of the national and regional governments and who are reaping the benefits of expanded ties to groups (both Maya and non-Maya) throughout Guatemala and to an international community sympathetic with indigenous projects.…

Paperback. Condition: New. In Why Draw?, Carol Hendrickson explores the potential of drawing within the context of ethnographic fieldwork. The book aims to inspire readers to immerse themselves in the generative process of thinking while seeing while drawing.  To foster visual thinking and encourage experimentation, Hendrickson discusses a range of case studies that show the possibilities of drawing in the field and thinking through the resulting drawings. Richly illustrated, the book focuses on current theoretical and methodological considerations in the social sciences, including semiotic issues of representation and indexicality, embodiment and the senses, affect, collaboration, and temporality. Chapters are supplemented with exercises, practical advice, and short interludes that provide inspiration. At its heart, Why Draw? asks readers to create visual notes in new and different ways; contemplate a range of contemporary issues through the act of drawing; and explore the potential of drawing to act as a bridge between fieldwork and finished works destined for public presentation.…
