Abstract

This book shows that governmental efforts to expand corporatism in the major occupational associations intensified conflict in and between socioeconomic sectors, encouraged militancy from disaffected group leaders, and promoted polarization between pluralist and corporatist associations.Originally published in 1984.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

This book traces the history of the Maya Indians of Yucatan, Mexico,during a four-hundred-year period from late preconquest times throughthe end of Spanish rule in 1821. Nancy Farriss combines the tools of thehistorian and the anthropologist to reconstruct colonial Maya society andculture as a web of interlocking systems, from ecology and modes ofsubsistence through the corporate family and the community to the realmof the sacred. She shows how the Maya adapted to Spanish domination,changing in ways that embodied Maya principles as they applied theirtraditional collective strategies for survival to the new challenges; they fared better under colonial rule than the Aztecs or Incas, who lived in areas more economically attractive to the conquering Spaniards. The author draws on archives and private collections in Seville, Mexico City, and Yucatan; on linguistic evidence from native language documents; and on archaeological and ethnographic data from sources that include her own fieldwork. Her innovative book illuminates not only Maya history and culture but also the nature and functioning of premodern agrarian societies in general and their processes of sociocultural change, especially under colonial rule.
