While charting these shifting elite efforts to define and create modernity, this book highlights how Mayas sought to carve out other modernities based on a blend of Maya cosmologies and radical liberalism. This work illustrates how state officials and non-Maya coffee planters disavowed these alternative projects. Our Time is Now thus focuses on the potency of historical time in the making of modernity and race as well as the limits of writing disenchanted history. Bridging the fields of subaltern and new capitalism studies, this book highlights the centrality of race and indigenous coerced labor in the formation of capitalism and demonstrates the legacy of nineteenth-century political and economic struggles in Guatemala's bloody civil war"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Kekchi Indians $z Alta Verapaz $z Alta Verapaz $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Kekchi Indians $z Guatemala $x Government relations. 650 0 $a Kekchi Indians $x Land tenure $z Alta Verapaz. $z Alta Verapaz. 651 0 $a Alta Verapaz (Guatemala) $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a Guatemala $x Causes. $y Revolution, 1954 $x Causes. 650 0 $a Germans $z Alta Verapaz $z Alta Verapaz $x History. 650 0 $a Coffee plantations $z Alta Verapaz $z Alta Verapaz $x History. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z Guatemala $x History. 650 0 $a Postcolonialism $z Guatemala $x History. 651 0 $a Alta Verapaz (Guatemala) $x Economic conditions. 651 0 $a Alta Verapaz (Guatemala) $x Emigration and immigration. 830 0 $a Cambridge Latin American studies ; $v 120. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210105041131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D00416E4047611EB89AE83802EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
