Viac o knihe

Exploring the Maya of Yucatan and their representation in academia and tourism, this work delves into the complex interactions between local identities and external perceptions. It introduces the concept of "shared social experience" to enhance reflexivity in ethnographic studies, moving beyond traditional focuses on authorship and discourse. By addressing the diverse subjectivities present in fieldwork, the book aims to provide a more nuanced understanding of Maya culture and the social dynamics at play, enriching contemporary ethnographic discourse.
