Indigenous Movements and Their Critics PDF By:Kay B. Warren Published on 1998 by Princeton University Press In this first book-length treatment of Maya intellectuals in national and community affairs in Guatemala, Kay Warren presents an ethnographic account of Pan-Maya cultural activism through the voices, writings, and actions of its participants. Challenging the belief that indigenous movements emerge as isolated, politically unified fronts, she shows that Pan-Mayanism reflects diverse local, national, and international influences. She explores the movement's attempts to interweave these varied strands into political programs to promote human and cultural rights for Guatemala's indigenous majority and also examines the movement's many domestic and foreign critics. The book focuses on the years of Guatemala's peace process (1987--1996).

Day Published on 2004-04-12 by Routledge The Handbook of Research and Policy in Art Education marks a milestone in the field of art education.

Human Rights in the Field of Comparative Education PDF By:Heidi Biseth Published on 2013-02-11 by Springer Science & Business Media There is no single answer to the question: what are human rights?

The nine papers presented in this book spans from policy analysis to practices in classrooms. They include analyses of human rights from a regional or country perspective, including Greece, Jordan, the Latin American region, Morocco, Northern Ireland, Portugal, the UK, the US, and Turkey. In facilitating a clarification of the ways in which we understand and talk about human rights in the field of comparative education, the editors have analysed and visualized the chapter contributions using Marie-Bénédicte Dembour’s categori

It breaks new ground in its interrogation of aspects of translation theory within the multilingua
