Paperback. Condición: New. The first comprehensive, book-length study of its kind, Conquistadores de la Calle presents the findings of nearly two years of ethnographic research on the streets of Guatemala City, toppling conventional wisdom that the region's youth workers are solely victims, or that their labor situations are ent…irely the result of poverty and family breakdown.Documenting the voices and experiences of the city's working children, this fascinating study reveals counterintuitive motivations for those who choose to abandon schooling in favor of participating more fully in their families' economies. The processes of developing skills and planning for their social and economic futures are covered in depth, presenting evidence that many members of this population operate well above survival level and are decidedly not marginalized or members of an underclass. Conquistadores de la Calle also makes important distinctions between these young workers-a generation of Maya and Ladino boys and girls-and the homeless children or gang youth who have been so much more widely studied.Contextualizing a variety of data, ranging from detailed ethnographic portraits of the children's lives and the monthly income of children engaged in common street vocations (such as shining shoes or serving as porters) to educational histories and socialization activities, Thomas Offit has produced a rich trove of findings in a significant segment of urban economics that is tremendously important for anthropologists, Latin Americanists, and those interested in the lives and labors of children in the cities of the developing world.

Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 1st Edition. Ex-library with the usual library markings (if not for the library markings this copy would be graded in fine condition); overall a nice used copy! Blue boards with gilt lettering on the spine. 200 informative and historical pages nicely enhanced by black… and white photographs and illustrations! "Based on more than thirty years of ethnographic fieldwork in Highland Guatemala, this study of Maya diviners, shamans, ritual dancers, and religious brotherhoods describes the radical changes in traditional Maya religious practice wrought by economic globalization and political turmoil. Focusing on the primary participants in the annual festival in the K'iche' Maya village of Santiago Momostenango, the authors show how older religious traditionalists and the new generation of "cultural activist" religious practitioners interact within a single local community, and how their competing agendas for adapting Maya religiosity to a new and continually changing political economy are perpetuating and changing Maya religious traditions.".

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. xii, 238 pp; illustrations. Original cloth. Near Fine, in dust jacket. First Edition. SIGNED BY PAUL OFFIT TO NOBEL LAUREATE THOMAS H. WELLER: "To Tom,/ Thanks again for all of your insights/ into this tragedy./ I m not sure I could have written/ this book witho…ut you./ All best wishes/ Paul A. Offit/ September, 2005." This copy does not have any ownership marking in it, but I know "Tom" is Thomas H. Weller because the book, as well as other items owned by Weller that do have his name written in them, were acquired by me from the family after Weller's death in 2008. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1954 was awarded jointly to John Franklin Enders, Thomas Huckle Weller and Frederick Chapman Robbins "for their discovery of the ability of poliomyelitis viruses to grow in cultures of various types of tissue." In the book on pp. 80 and 130, Offit quotes Weller's negative views, which were shared by others who are also quoted by Offit, that Jonas Salk was not a good scientist, never having been elected to the National Academy of Sciences nor awarded the Nobel Prize. However Offit expresses his own contrary view that "although not appreciated by many scientists, Salk made several important conceptual and technological advances that led to one of the greatest public heath achievements of our time" (p. 131). As a footnote, I would note that Salk, and Stephen Hawking, are probably the two persons most cited by the media as having received a Nobel Prize who did NOT receive the Prize. Quoting Wikipedia about the "Cutter Incident": "On April 12, 1955, following the announcement of the success of the polio vaccine trial, Cutter Laboratories became one of several companies that was recommended to be given a license by the United States government to produce Salk's polio vaccine. In anticipation of the demand for vaccine, the companies had already produced stocks of the vaccine and these were issued once the licenses were signed. In what became known as the Cutter incident, some lots of the Cutter vaccine--despite passing required safety tests--contained live polio virus in what was supposed to be an inactivated-virus vaccine. Cutter withdrew its vaccine from the market on April 27 after vaccine-associated cases were reported. The mistake produced 120,000 doses of polio vaccine that contained live polio virus. Of children who received the vaccine, 40,000 developed abortive poliomyelitis (a form of the disease that does not involve the central nervous system), 56 developed paralytic poliomyelitis--and of these, five children died from polio. The exposures led to an epidemic of polio in the families and communities of the affected children, resulting in a further 113 people paralyzed and 5 deaths. The director of the microbiology institute lost his job, as did the equivalent of the assistant secretary for health. Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Oveta Culp Hobby stepped down. William H. Sebrell Jr, the director of the NIH, resigned.". Signed by Author(s).
