Voicing places : Maya-Mam youth navigating race, language, and labor in East Oakland
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation portfolio is composed of three stand-alone papers that all study the formation of Maya-Mam diaspora across Oakland, California and Mam municipalities in Guatemala. These papers are based on participant observation carried out in schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods across Oakland across three years, as well as shorter field trips in San Juan Atitán and Todos Santos Cuchumatán, Huehuetenango, and San Miguel Ixtahuacán, San Marcos in Guatemala. Across the three papers I argue that forms of Maya-Mam identity were composed, recomposed, and transposed across national borders through linguistic, municipal, and educational practices and perspectives. The implications of these transnational compositions, recompositions, and transpositions of highlight how ethnoracial identities are articulated through linguistic, educational, and municipal discourses.
