acase@tulane.edu / The publishing industry for Mayan language books in Guatemala is an understudied wing of Maya cultural activism, and can be viewed as a manifestation of the movement’s goals and accomplishments. Through the investigation of publishing organizations and books in Mayan languages, ideologies as well as practical tactics are made manifest. These ideologies include a conception of indigenous linguistic support and valorizations based in education and pan-Mayanism. They also occur within a context of recent state violence, centuries of racism against indigenous populations, as well as a contradictory embrace of indigenous symbolism by the ladino government in the creation of a Guatemalan national identity. / 1 / Sara Kittleson
