Maya-British Conflict at the Edge of the Yucatecan Caste War
Maya-British Conflict at the Edge of the Yucatecan Caste War interrogates the 1862 alliance forged between the San Pedro Maya and the British during the Caste War of Yucatán (1847–1901). Illuminating the complex interactions among Maya groups, Yucatecans of Spanish descent, and British settlers in what is now Belize, Christine A. Kray uses storytelling techniques, suspense, and humor, via historical documents and oral history interviews to tell a new story about the dynamics at the heart of the Social War.

The Brink of Freedom
In The Brink of Freedom David Kazanjian revises nineteenth-century conceptions of freedom by examining the ways black settler colonists in Liberia and Mayan rebels in Yucatán imagined how to live freely. Focusing on colonial and early national Liberia and the Caste War of Yucatán, Kazanjian interprets letters from black settlers in apposition to letters and literature from Mayan rebels and their Creole antagonists. He reads these overlooked, multilingual archives not for their descriptive content, but for how they unsettle and recast liberal forms of freedom within global systems of racial capitalism. By juxtaposing two unheralded and seemingly unrelated Atlantic histories, Kazanjian finds remarkably fresh, nuanced, and worldly conceptions of freedom thriving amidst the archived everyday. The Brink of Freedom’s speculative, quotidian globalities ultimately ask us to improvise radical ways of living in the world.

Indigene Sprachen in Mexiko
Im Zuge fortschreitender Globalisierung und daraus resultierender Dynamiken geraten indigene Sprachen immer stärker in Konkurrenz zu ‚dominanten‘ Kontaktsprachen. Mexiko ist in diesem Zusammenhang ein besonders markantes Beispiel: Genuin mehrsprachig, ist es gleichzeitig weltweit das Land mit den meisten Spanischsprechern. Die Situation ist von einer jahrhundertelangen Tradition der Unterdrückung und Ausgrenzung der indigenen Völker geprägt. Dies hat sich in einer Sprach- und Bildungspolitik niedergeschlagen, die erst sehr spät überhaupt die Existenz indigener Völker in der Verfassung anerkannt hat. In dieser Arbeit stehen die Vitalität des Maya sowie die Situation seiner Spreche...
