Maya Gods of War
No full textNumerous archaeological projects have found substantial evidence of the military nature of Maya society, and warfare is a frequent theme of Maya art. Maya Gods of War investigates the Classic period Maya gods who were associated with weapons of war and the flint and obsidian from which those weapons were made. Author Karen Bassie-Sweet traces the semantic markers used to distinguish flint from other types of stone, surveys various types of Chahk thunderbolt deities and their relationship to flint weapons, and explores the connection between lightning and the ruling elite. Additional chapters review these fire and solar deities and their roles in Maya warfare and examine the nature and manifestations of the Central Mexican thunderbolt god Tlaloc, his incorporation into the Maya pantheon, and his identification with meteors and obsidian weapons. Finally, Bassie-Sweet addresses the characteristics of the deity God L, his role as an obsidian merchant god, and his close association with the ancient land route between the highland Guatemalan obsidian sources and the lowlands. Through analysis of the nature of the Teotihuacán deities and exploration of the ways in which these gods were introduced into the Maya region and incorporated into the Maya worldview, Maya Gods of War offers new insights into the relationship between warfare and religious beliefs in Mesoamerica. This significant work will be of interest to scholars of Maya religion and iconography

A Discussion of Avidit Acharya, Matthew Blackwell, and Maya Sen’s Deep Roots: How Slavery Still Shapes Southern Politics
No full textIf the election of Donald Trump has proven anything indisputably, it is that the notion of America as a “postracial” society in the aftermath of the Obama presidency is a canard. Yet how should we understand the specific pattern of race’s persistent salience in US politics? In Deep Roots, Avidit Acharya, Matthew Blackwell, and Maya Sen argue that it is the long legacy of chattel slavery that continues to shape politics in the US South in distinctive fashion. Comparing regions that were once marked by slavery with those that were not, the authors develop the concept of “behavioral path dependence” to describe the production and reproduction of a political culture marked by intergenerational racial prejudice. They argue that this legacy continues to shape US politics today in a fashion that is both understandable and predictable with the tools of empirical political science. We asked several scholars with expertise on politics and race, US political development, and political behavior to address this controversial argument

Epigrafía maya: Tabasco
No full textLa información de esta miniguía está basada en los trabajos de M. Coe, N. Grove, S. Guenter, S. Martín, P. Mathews, Linda Schele, D. Stuart y M. U. Zender.Cuatro de las grandes culturas desarrolladas en Mesoamérica poseían un sistema propio de escritura: zapoteca, maya, mixteca y náhuatl. La escritura maya fue el sistema más complejo y el que más correspondencia tuvo con la lengua hablada. Parece haber surgido alrededor del 100 o 200 d.C., y según la mitología fue el dios ltzamná quien la inventó. Sus últimas expresiones se sitúan alrededor de 1696. Los mayas utilizaron diferentes soportes para plasmar la escritura y su historia escrita, como códices de papel vasijas de barro, textiles, pieles, estelas y altares de piedra, dinteles y cajas de madera, pendientes de hueso y hasta finas puntas de cola de mantarraya, entre otros.</p
