Richard Wilson carried out long-term research with Q'eqchi'-speaking Mayas in the province of Alta Verapaz to ascertain how these events affected social organization and identity. He finds that their rituals of fertility and healing--abandoned in the 1970s during Catholic and Protestant evangelizations--have been reinvented by an ethnic revivalist movement led by Catholic lay activists, who seek to renovate the earth cult in order to create a new pan-Q'eqchi' ethnic identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0806131950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806131955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 373\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.47h x 5.41w x 0.86d","brand":"Richard Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926249570559,"sku":"9780806131955","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e9a9b182-ae62-4faf-bea1-68cdf51e6a48.jpg?v=1681082028","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/maya-resurgence-in-guatemala-richard-wilson-9780806131955","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
