Information About
Title: Maya AmericaAKA "variant" title: Maya America:Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis.
Maya America publishes academic essays, political commentary, personal reflections, and creative works such as literature and art. Topics that relate to Indigenous Peoples of the Americas are welcome. The journal is interdisciplinary, to include history, anthropology, public policy, education, literature, human rights, legal matters, for example. Our primary georgraphic region for past issues has been Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States, with some inclusion of Canada and Belize.
We welcome a mix of points of view, updates of previous research or research in progress, and creative literary works.The journal features essays and literature about past, contemporary, and emerging experiences and challenges in the Americas. As borders are spanned geographically, socially, and psychologically, Maya America opens spaces for thoughtfulness and discussion, and in addition proposes collaboration and change.
Names can encourage dynamic discussion as well as designate purpose and potentialities. “Maya America” refers to the historic and the present-day geographic region where people of Maya descent live, while “Maya American” reflects a term of self-identification used by many in the new generations born or raised beyond traditional homelands.
While lives and identities continue to involve intergenerational connections, they increasingly reflect an intersection of indigenous, cross-cultural and transnational experiences.
