Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the transformation of Mayan Indian societies within modern Western civilization through the lens of local political change in Guatemala. It sets the stage by establishing that legislation and decree alone do not account for the many-sided changes involved in these processes, which tend to focus on ecological, economic, sociological, and psychological factors. The book, however, primarily concentrates on the effects of political action and national politics within the Guatemalan sphere. Nine separate case studies provide descriptive accounts of political changes in various villages and areas, with coverage spanning different time periods depending on the individual case. While some of these studies did not explicitly set out to examine political change, each nevertheless grapples with the broader theme of societal change. Together, the studies provide a nuanced understanding of how the expansion of Western civilization impacted local political structures and, by extension, cultural practices and traditions.
