Excerpt from Political Changes in Guatemalan Indian Communities: A Symposium
Following the revolution of 1944, the intendente system was abolished and under a new constitution a new municipal policy was established. Elected mayors and town councils were re-established, but with the difference that the elections were intended to be competitive. Towards this end, poli tical parties were promoted. Silvert (1954) and the various cases to follow provide a description of the local political situation from 1945 on. Aside from these structural changes during the period from 1930 to 1954, there were others which, because of their relevance to the general picture, must be briefly mentioned (see also Goubaud, Prior to the time of Ubico, debt peonage was a standard practice of the large-scale farmers: Ubico abolished this practice and substituted a vagrancy law, and a required annual labor and military service from the Indian population. With the constitution of 1945, both these de mands were abolished and suffrage was extended to all literates and to all illiterate males. During the Ubico period radicalism of any kind was strongly suppressed; fol lowing the 1944 revolution, numerous exiles returned to the country and political beliefs of whatever character, providing they were not reactionary, were encour aged.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the transformation of Mayan Indian societies within modern Western civilization through the lens of local political change in Guatemala. It sets the stage by establishing that legislation and decree alone do not account for the many-sided changes involved in these processes, which tend to focus on ecological, economic, sociological, and psychological factors. The book, however, primarily concentrates on the effects of political action and national politics within the Guatemalan sphere. Nine separate case studies provide descriptive accounts of political changes in various villages and areas, with coverage spanning different time periods depending on the individual case. While some of these studies did not explicitly set out to examine political change, each nevertheless grapples with the broader theme of societal change. Together, the studies provide a nuanced understanding of how the expansion of Western civilization impacted local political structures and, by extension, cultural practices and traditions.
