Shipwrecked Identities : Navigating Race On Nicaragua’s Mosquito Coast

Attribution
Baron L. Pineda
Publication Details
Book, Rutgers University Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents
Description
Global identity politics rest heavily on notions of ethnicity and authenticity, especially in contexts where indigenous identity becomes a basis for claims of social and economic justice. As the indigenous people of the Mosquito Coast continue to negotiate the effects of a long history of contested ethnic and racial identity, this book takes an important step in questioning the origins, legitimacy, and consequences of such claims.

The Maya

Attribution
Michael D. Coe
Publication Details
Book, 7th ed., fully rev. and expanded, Thames and Hudson, 2005
Description
It has now become apparent that the birth of Maya civilization lies not in the Classic but during the Preclassic period, above all in the Mirador Basin of northern Guatemala, where the builders of gigantic ancient cities (interconnected by causeways) erected the world’s largest pyramid as early as 200 BC. The seventh edition also presents new evidence for the use of wetlands by the Classic Maya, and fresh perspectives on the catastrophic demise of Classic civilization by the close of the ninth century.
