具体描述

Scholars and Guatemalans have characterized eastern Guatemala as "Ladino" or non-Indian. The Ch'orti' do not exhibit the obvious indigenous markers found among the Mayas of western Guatemala, Chiapas, and the Yucatn Peninsula of Mexico. Few still speak Ch'orti', most no longer wear distinctive dress, and most community organizations have long been abandoned. During the colonial period, the Ch'orti' region was adjacent to relatively vibrant economic regions of Central America that included major trade routes, mines, and dye plantations. In the twentieth century Ch'orti's directly experienced U.S.-backed dictatorships, a 36-year civil war from start to finish, and Christian evangelization campaigns, all while their population has increased exponentially. These have had tremendous impacts on Ch'orti' identities and cultures.From 1991 to 1993, Brent Metz lived in three Ch'orti' Maya-speaking communities, learning the language, conducting household surveys, and interviewing informants. He found Ch'orti's to be ashamed of their indigeneity, and he was fortunate to be present and involved when many Ch'orti's joined the Maya Movement. He has continued to expand his ethnographic research of the Ch'orti' annually ever since and has witnessed how Ch'orti's are reformulating their history and identity.

《危地马拉东部：玛雅文明的韧性回响》在危地马拉东部的广袤土地上，古老的玛雅文明不仅留下了令人惊叹的建筑遗迹，更孕育了一种生生不息的生命力。本书深入探索这片土地上玛雅人面对挑战、传承文化、以及在现代社会中寻求自身独特生存方式的漫长历程。我们聚焦于当地土著社群，通过他们的视角，展现了他们的智慧、韧性和对传统的坚持。本书并非罗列冰冷的考古发现，而是试图捕捉那些活跃在土地上的生命之息。我们将跟随研究者深入当地村落，与玛雅长老、艺术家、农民进行真诚的对话。他们的故事，是关于如何在历史变迁中保持身份认同，如何在经济全球化浪潮中守护传统生计，如何在政治动荡中争取权益的生动写照。我们将探讨玛雅社群如何通过口述历史、传统仪式、以及世代相传的技艺来维系其文化命脉。从精美的纺织品图案中，我们能读懂怎样的宇宙观和社群价值；从土地耕作的古老方法中，我们能体会怎样的自然智慧和可持续发展理念；从孩童教育中，我们能看到怎样将祖先的知识与现代知识相结合。本书的叙事将带领读者穿越时空，理解玛雅文化在殖民时期、内战年代以及当代社会中所经历的重重考验。我们将审视这些外部压力如何塑造了玛雅人的集体记忆和应对策略，以及他们如何在逆境中展现出非凡的适应性和创造力。我们会关注他们如何利用现代工具——例如数字媒体和教育项目——来推广和保护他们的语言、习俗和历史。此外，我们还将关注那些致力于玛雅文化复兴和社区发展的个人与组织。他们的努力，无论是在语言教育、生态保护、还是在争取土地权利方面，都为玛雅社群的未来注入了希望。这些努力并非孤立的行动，而是源于对自身文化根源的深刻认同和对后代福祉的殷切期盼。《危地马拉东部：玛雅文明的韧性回响》旨在呈现一个多维度、充满活力的玛雅世界。我们希望读者在阅读本书后，能够超越刻板印象，认识到玛雅文明并非仅仅是过去的历史遗迹，而是一种鲜活、不断演进的文化形态，它在危地马拉东部的土地上，以其独特的方式，继续书写着属于自己的辉煌篇章。本书将为任何对人类文化多样性、土著权利、以及文化韧性感兴趣的读者提供一个深刻而感性的视角。
