Het rijke erfgoed van gevarieerde en kleurrijke textielkunsten - weven, borduren, lussen, haken - in Guatemala is nu, door middel van dit boek, toegankelijk voor de wever van vandaag. De auteur, een professionele fotografe en schrijfster, heeft vele jaren in Midden-Amerika doorgebracht met het verzamelen van materiaal en het documenteren van de verschillende soorten stoffen die momenteel worden gemaakt. Het boek laat de mannen en vrouwen aan het werk zien die geweven kledingstukken en lappen stof maken, hun weefgetouwen en weefopstellingen en hun materialen. Er wordt speciale nadruk gelegd op de specifieke technieken die worden gebruikt om verschillende soorten stoffen te weven, met name aanvullende inslagpatronen, die lange tijd als de beste prestatie van de Guatemalteekse wevers werden beschouwd. Na een kort overzicht van de oorsprong en geschiedenis van het weven in Guatemala, bespreekt de auteur de achtergrond van het ambacht vandaag de dag, de levensstijl van de wever, het traditionele gebruik van het textiel en recente weeftrends. Het volgende hoofdstuk beschrijft de verschillende vezels die gebruikt worden in de textielproductie: hoe ze gesponnen en geverfd worden en welke soorten weefgetouwen en weefapparatuur gebruikt worden. De verschillende benaderingen van het weven in Guatemala worden beschreven en vergeleken in een lang hoofdstuk over het weven met de rugband (waaronder technieken die gebruikt worden in patroonweven, brokaat en gaas). Een hoofdstuk over weven op weefgetouwen toont de uitrusting en weeftechnieken voor onder andere platbinding, tapisserie en jacquardweven. De auteur beschrijft ook lussen, borduren, breien en haken voor het maken van tassen en netten. De conclusie beschrijft nieuwe richtingen in het weven in Guatemala. Het boek geeft zowel de glorie van de geproduceerde stoffen weer als een portret van het geduld, de vaardigheid en de veeleisende eisen van het weefambacht.

Since the late 1970s, Protestantism has emerged as a major force in the political and economic life of rural Guatemala. Indeed, as Sheldon Annis argues in this book, Protestantism may have helped tip Guatemala's guerrilla war in behalf of the army during the early 1980s. But what is it about Protestantism—and about Indians— that has led to massive religious conversion throughout the highlands? And in villages today, what are the dynamics that underlie the competition between Protestants and Catholics? Sheldon Annis addresses these questions from the perspective of San Antonio Aguas Calieutes, an Indian village in the highlands of midwestern Guatemala. Annis skillfully blends economic and cultural analysis to show why Protestantism has taken root. The key "character" in his drama is the village Indian's tiny plot of corn and beans, the milpa, which Annis analyzes as an "idea" as well as an agronomic productive system. By exploring "milpa logic," Annis shows how the economic, environmental, and social shifts of the twentieth century have acted to undercut "the colonial creation of Indianness" and, in doing so, have laid the basis for new cultural identities.

"A beautiful book featuring intimate portrayals of a diverse group of Guatemalan artists and their works . . . [a] compelling presentation style." — Library Journal Against the backdrop of Guatemala, this book presents portraits of artisans working in the ancient traditions of the Maya paired with insights into the creation of the textiles and the events that have affected their work. Weaving, spinning, and basket making have sustained the Maya economically and culturally against the pressures of change and a thirty-six-year civil war that decimated their population. Their persistence in continuing traditional art has created some of the loveliest, most colorful textiles the world has ever known. Artisans share their personal histories, hopes, and dreams along with the products of their hands and looms. Their stories show determination in the face of unimaginable loss and hardship which instill an appreciation for the textiles themselves and for the strong people who create them. "This is a beautifully illustrated book with enough technical information to interest weavers no matter what their skill level may be. The wealth of colour photographs of textiles will appeal to designers and collectors." —Shelly Anderson, Textile Research Centre, trc-leiden.nl "Deborah Chandler and Teresa Cordón weave a tale as rich and textured as the cloth they describe. It is a triumphant tale of personal artistry and innovation." —Mary Anne Wise, president and co-founder, Cultural Cloth "Weavers will especially love the detailed information about textile techniques, but every reader will love this tour of Guatemala and introduction to its people." —Madelyn van der Hoogt, editor emerita, Handwoven

Traje, the brightly colored traditional dress of the highland Maya, is the principal visual expression of indigenous identity in Guatemala today. Whether worn in beauty pageants, made for religious celebrations, or sold in tourist markets, traje is more than "mere cloth"—it plays an active role in the construction and expression of ethnicity, gender, education, politics, wealth, and nationality for Maya and non-Maya alike. Carol Hendrickson presents an ethnography of clothing focused on the traje—particularly women's traje—of Tecpán, Guatemala, a bi-ethnic community in the central highlands. She covers the period from 1980, when the recent round of violence began, to the early 1990s, when Maya revitalization efforts emerged. Using a symbolic analysis informed by political concerns, Hendrickson seeks to increase the value accorded to a subject like weaving, which is sometimes disparaged as "craft" or "women's work." She examines traje in three dimensions—as part of the enduring images of the "Indian," as an indicator of change in the human life cycle and cloth production, and as a medium for innovation and creative expression. From this study emerges a picture of highland life in which traje and the people who wear it are bound to tradition and place, yet are also actively changing and reflecting the wider world. The book will be important reading for all those interested in the contemporary Maya, the cultural analysis of material culture, and the role of women in culture preservation and change.
