Description

Explore the complex social structures of Pre-Columbian Maya through a fresh archaeological lens. Foreigners Among Us examines the role of outsiders and how their presence helped shape Maya identity. This work moves beyond simple definitions to investigate who these individuals were and the processes used to designate difference within ancient societies. By applying identity studies and standpoint theory, the book provides a new way to understand how being foreign was marked and imitated in daily life. It offers a deep look at how alterity functioned as a generative component of social identity. This is an essential resource for students and researchers looking to understand the social dynamics and the construction of difference in ancient Central American history.
