DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis thesis examines the work of one ecumenical human rights organization, the Inter-Church Committee on Human Rights in Latin America, in the area of the Americas traditionally occupied by the indigenous Maya, the mountains and plains of northern Central America and the southern territory of Mexico. The organization's work is studied in relation to the context of the wars, systemic, cultural, and militaristic, being waged against the people, the Maya, by the states of the region. The further concentration of wealth and power, the outbreak of new civil wars, and the appearance of cultural critiques of inequality rather than purely historical ones over the last decades, have resulted in the astounding growth of peoples' movements for real democracy in the Americas. Nowhere have these trends been more pronounced than Latin America. This thesis examines these occurrences and their significance for some of the original inhabitants of our lands, the Maya.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe resurgence of indigenous cultures and the reappearance of their ancient spiritualities, during the 1990s, is of great interest to social scientists. Several such cultures are featured in this book. The indigenous populations of struggling multi-ethnic "democracies" in Latin America are demanding to be integrated into the national mainstream, together with their holistic values of family, economics and ecology. Institutional Christianity is being challenged by indigenous theologies that are critical of both traditional Christianity and liberation theology. While some see here a danger of syncretism, these developments can be experienced as a breath of fresh air. "Much has been said about the Mayas, but they have not been allowed to speak for themselves" (anthropologist Rafael Girardi, 1962). This book is an attempt to allow religious spokespersons from a very ancient and creative civilization to share their faith, which has remained hidden for five centuries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn considering the interplay between contemporary Protestant practice and native cultural traditions among Maya evangelicals, this work documents the processes whereby some Maya have converted to different forms of Christianity and the ways in which the Maya are incorporating Christianity for their own purposes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report is one of several studies conducted by UNODC on organized crime threats around the world. These studies describe what is known about the mechanics of contraband trafficking - the what, who, how, and how much of illicit flows - and discuss their potential impact on governance and development. Their primary role is diagnostic, but they also explore the implications of these findings for policy. Publisher's note.
