Mexican Rural Development and the Plumed Serpent

Technology and Maya Cosmology in the Tropical Forest of Campeche, Mexico

Beschreibung

This is the first ethnography to be written about a Campeche Maya community. It examines the surviving Maya traditional technologies and sacred cosmologies and discusses the potential for combining these with modern knowledge and technologies to form an efficient new system that will not only provide for ecologically responsible development but will also make possible the cultural survival of this threatened indigenous population.
