Description

Review The book is a tour de force, building on some of the most sustained, perceptive fieldwork ever done in indigenous communities of the Americas. The polished writing, with its textured insights and depth of ethnography, explains in fascinating detail key changes in the spiritual life of Latin America and rural, indigenous Guatemala. I have never seen such a comprehensive treatment, and it will be of greatest value to those interested in rapid religious change. I know of few people who could take such an expansive view on the topic.--Stephen Houston, author of The Life Within: Classic Maya and the Matter of Permanence Product Description Mayas, and indeed all Guatemalans, are currently experiencing the collapse of their way of life. This collapse is disrupting ideologies, symbols, life practices, and social structures that have undergirded their society for almost five hundred years, and it is causing rapid and massive religious transformation among the K'iche' Maya living in highland western Guatemala. Many Maya are converting to Christian Pentecostal faiths in which adherents and leaders become bodily agitated during worship.Drawing on over fifty years of research and data collected by field-school students, Hawkins argues that two factors-cultural collapse and systematic social and economic exclusion--explain the recent religious transformation of Maya Guatemala and the style and emotional intensity through which that transformation is expressed. Guatemala serves as a window on religious change around the world, and Hawkins examines the rapid pentecostalization of Christianity not only within Guatemala but also throughout the global South. The ""pentecostal wail,"" as he describes it, is ultimately an acknowledgment of the angst and insecurity of contemporary Maya. About the Author John P. Hawkins is a professor emeritus of anthropology at Brigham Young University. During his forty years at BYU he conducted research in Guatemala, and he co-directed the Anthropology Department Field School in NahualÁ and Santa Catarina IxtahuacÁn from 1995 through 2006 and in 2009.
