Siguiendo un enfoque de estudio de caso en la comunidad Maya-K’iche’ de Almolonga, este artículo examina las prácticas y significados divergentes de “desarrollo” y su impacto en las aspiraciones y los resultados migratorios de las familias indígenas en Guatemala. Las autoridades gubernamentales y los expertos en desarrollo internacional exaltan a Almolonga como un ejemplo próspero de una economía agraria globalizada. La clave de su éxito es la industria del microcrédito que promueve el préstamo como un medio para invertir en los negocios pequeños y dar poder adquisitivo a los hogares. Sin embargo, como se ve en nuestro estudio, este crédito a menudo es causa de sobreendeudamiento, lo que conduce a una emigración significativa. En cambio, el entendimiento local del desarrollo está arraigado en el concepto K’iche’ de utz k’aslemal, un sistema de economías complementarias e intercambio de conocimientos entre generaciones a través de la educación y de emprendedores en un esfuerzo para crear caminos hacia “el buen vivir”. Rastreando los significados conflictivos asignados al desarrollo, argumentamos que el sobreendeudamiento que resulta del microcrédito no solo refuerza, sino que también agrava las desigualdades sociales ya existentes en Guatemala y, contrario a las afirmaciones del desarrollo, induce la migración.","PeriodicalId":154070,"journal":{"name":"Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114862841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

“Why would anyone leave?”: Development, overindebtedness, and migration in Guatemala “为什么会有人离开?”:危地马拉的发展、过度负债和移徙

Enlisting a case study approach in the Maya-K’iche’ community of Almolonga, this article examines divergent meanings and practices of “development” and its impact on the migratory aspirations and outcomes of Indigenous families in Guatemala. Government authorities and international development experts exalt Almolonga as a prosperous example of a globalized, agrarian-based economy. Key to its ‘success’ is the growing microcredit industry which advertises loans as a means to invest in small businesses and to enable household purchasing power. Yet, as our survey finds, this credit often cascades into over indebtedness, leading to significant out-migration. In contrast, local understandings of development arerooted in the K’iche’ concept of utz k'aslemal, a system of complementary economies and intergenerational knowledge-sharing through education and entrepreneurship in an effort to create pathways to ‘el buen vivir.’ By tracing the conflicting meanings assigned to development, we argue that over indebtedness resulting from microcredit not only reinforces but likewise exacerbates existing social inequalities in Guatemala and, contrary to development claims, induces migration.","PeriodicalId":154070,"journal":{"name":"Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis","volume":"05 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129417067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mackenzie","doi":"10.32727/26.2022.11","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32727/26.2022.11","url":null,"abstract":"The tradition of San Simón in Guatemala has long garnered considerable interest among foreign and national academics, tourists, and Guatemalans in general from a range of backgrounds. Many, though not all, are drawn to the ambiguity and multiple identities often attributed to this deity, including associations with Pedro de Alvarado and Judas Iscariot as well as autochthonous figures such as the Maya deity Mam or other figures from Indigenous history and culture. In this article, based primarily on ethnographic research conducted since 1994, I trace opinions and assessments concerning San Simón, from a range of interlocutors, and consider how these have developed over time. I argue that academics especially need to rethink the concept of syncretism as we go about identifying and interpreting cases of “religious mixture”, noting that considerable reflexivity is required when applying thisterm. For many indigenous Guatemalans, especially at the community level, little if any contradiction or ambiguity is expressed regarding the identity(s) of this deity, which leads to the question “syncretic for whom”? That said, others, especially those involved (often beyond the local level) in the promotion and institutionalization of Maya Spirituality, may work to establish a more stable Maya pedigree for this tradition. The way these various points of view are expressed and placed in dialog with each other speaks to a dynamism and creativity which is typical of Maya culture at present and through time.","PeriodicalId":154070,"journal":{"name":"Maya America: Journal of Essays, Commentary, and Analysis","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122561090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
