The Formation of the Contemporary Mesoamerican Author

Abstract

Chapter 2 centers the discursive formation of the indigenous author intra-regionally and transnationally. The chapter argues that this generation moves from testimonial and collaborative publications to the demands made by assuming an author status. The discussion registers the work of Humberto Ak’abal, Jorge Cocom Pech, Nicolás Huet, and Ana Patricia Martínez Huchim and their kab’awilian strategies.
