Maya Education and Pan Maya Ideology in the Yucatan.
Burns, Allan
Cultural Survival Quarterly, v22 n1 p50-52 Spr 1998
A University of Yucatan (Mexico) professor who taught a Mayan linguistics course to indigenous teachers in Mayan discusses three issues that are central to understanding how indigenous education interacts with pan-Maya identity: the importance of locally developed Maya literature, the symbols used to define Maya culture, and a conflict over Maya culture as uniform or pluralistic.
