University of Delaware Institute for Global Studies Summer 2023: Guatemala ANTH - microProgram Dates June 30, 2023 - July 10, 2023 (dates are tentative)
This program has been cancelled.
Program Overview This program examines the history and contemporary lives of Maya people in Guatemala, focusing especially on issues of culture, politics, health, and human rights. More than half of Guatemalans identify as indigenous descendants of the Maya people who inhabited the region before Europeans arrived in 1524. In spite of centuries of discrimination and violence directed toward Maya people, indigenous communities have developed their own ways of engaging with a globalizing world. They draw on rich traditions of dress, religion, politics, and healthcare to fight for justice and recognition, promote international tourism, generate opportunities for global trade, and cultivate community health and wellbeing.
