Description

Explore the connection between tradition and migration in Ritual, Identity, and the Mayan Diaspora. Originally published in 1998, this Routledge Library Edition examines how members of the ancient Maya civilization maintain their ethnic identity through religious traditions while living in the United States. Focusing on a predominantly Maya town in rural Florida, this study looks at how religious rituals help people navigate unfamiliar environments. It provides a detailed look at the lives of the Mayan diaspora and how they preserve their heritage through community practices. This interdisciplinary work combines studies of Mesoamerican fiesta or cargo systems, religious ritual, and migration studies. It offers a deep look into the religious traditions of indigenous Guatemala and how these customs function within a modern, migrant context. This book is an important resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the social sciences.
