Scholars denounce the pageant’s inauthenticity – both aesthetically due to shifts in indigenous weaving and the use of traditional dress, as well as in terms of avoiding recognition of Mayas’ continued social and political subjugation, even after the genocide against their communities. Further, the contestants in Rabín Ajaw, who are tasked with the most authentic presentation of “Mayan-ness,” are atypical compared to the majority of Maya women living in Guatemala.

GOSLINGA CURAÇAO AND GUZMÁN BLANCO A CASE STUDY OF SMALL POWER POLITIeS IN THE CARIBBEAN 'S-GRAVENHAGE - MARTINUS NIJHOFF 1975 The publication of this study was made possible by agrant from STICUSA, the Netherlands Foundation for Cultural Cooperation with Surinam and the Netherlands Antilles. I.S.B.N. 90 247 1836 8 PREFACE This monograph explores a critical phase in the history of the Dutch colony of Curaçao and its development of political relations with Venezuela. Tensions and conflicts growing out of these relations ac­ quired an extra Caribbean dimension with the involvement of the Netherlands in a region she had previously neglected. In concentrating on the political aspects of Curaçao's role in this complex entanglement of interests and influences, the author is only too aware that he bas excluded other relevant matters in favor of a more single-minded, monographic approach. These include the relationship between legal and illegal trade and its influence upon the economy of both the island and the Venezuelan republic ; the existence of a powerful merchant­ class in the colony; and the rise of what might be termed a national consciousness in Venezuela at the same time the Dutch island was becoming aware of its almost complete dependenee on a distant metro­ polis unfamiliar with Curaçao's problems and needs.
