Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Pittsburgh, 2004.

This dissertation is about the emergence and cultural/political implications of Guatemala's Maya movement. I examine the movement's effort toward cultural and ethnic revitalization through a study of literature, indigenous education projects, testimonial narratives, essays, and other cultural texts produced by representatives of the movement. My goal is to explore the manner in which Mayas, through these discourses have---from the late 1970s on---challenged the fixed imaginative and epistemological notions of the "Indian" world, "modernity," and history created by non-indigenous others who have had the power to produce and disseminate knowledge about Mayas. In so doing, these narratives---I argue---promote an ethnic, cultural and linguistic reaffirmation that constitutes what being Maya means in society today, and an alternative political project oriented to the future.

520 $a This dissertation is about the emergence and cultural/political implications of Guatemala's Maya movement. I examine the movement's effort toward cultural and ethnic revitalization through a study of literature, indigenous education projects, testimonial narratives, essays, and other cultural texts produced by representatives of the movement. My goal is to explore the manner in which Mayas, through these discourses have---from the late 1970s on---challenged the fixed imaginative and epistemological notions of the "Indian" world, "modernity," and history created by non-indigenous others who have had the power to produce and disseminate knowledge about Mayas. In so doing, these narratives---I argue---promote an ethnic, cultural and linguistic reaffirmation that constitutes what being Maya means in society today, and an alternative political project oriented to the future.
520 $a The dissertation is divided in four chapters. The first one examines the works of Maya writer Luis de Lion and his efforts to disarticulate previous representations of Mayas in literature. I pay close attention to his novel, El tiempo principia en Xibalba (1985); his dialogues with Miguel Angel Asturias; and de Lion's Maya nationalism. Chapter two focuses on Rigoberta Menchu. I examine the debates around the "veracity" of her testimonio, I, Rigoberta Menchu (1983), generated by David Stoll's book, Rigoberta Menchu and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans (1999). Then, I focus on Menchu's second book, Crossing Borders (1998) where I explore her efforts toward promoting multiculturalism in Guatemala and internationally.
520 $a Chapter three examines the "interethnic" debate in Guatemala. I focus on Las huellas de B'alam (1999) by Maya journalist, Estuardo Zapeta, and La articulacion de las diferencias (1999) by Ladino literary critic Mario Roberto Morales in order to problematize emergent discourses on multiculturalism and identity politics. Finally, I examine projects of indigenous education by outlining their ideological objectives and goals toward indigenous students in order to problematize how education demystifies or reproduces the role of public schools in the production of an "ideal" Guatemalan citizen (e.g. homogenous linguistically and culturally) for the age of globalization.
