  • Indigenous Maya Knowledge and the Possibility of Decolonizing Education in Guatemala
    Indigenous Maya Knowledge and the Possibility of Decolonizing Education in Guatemala by Vivian Michelle Jiménez Estrada A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Vivian Michelle Jiménez Estrada 2012 Indigenous Maya Knowledge and the Possibility of Decolonizing Education in Guatemala Vivian Michelle Jiménez Estrada Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Maya peoples in Guatemala continue to practice their Indigenous knowledge in spite of the violence experienced since the Spanish invasion in 1524. From 1991 until 1996, the state and civil society signed a series of Peace Accords that promised to better meet the needs of the Maya, Xinka, Garífuna and non-Indigenous groups living there. In this context, how does the current educational system meet the varied needs of these groups? My research investigates the philosophy and praxis of Maya Indigenous knowledge (MIK) in broadly defined educational contexts through the stories of 17 diverse Maya professional women and men involved in educational reform that currently live and work in Guatemala City. How do they reclaim and apply their ancestral knowledge daily? What possible applications of MIK can transform society? The findings reveal that MIK promotes social change and healing within and outside institutionalized educational spaces and argues that academia needs to make room for Indigenous theorizing mainly in areas of education, gender, knowledge production, and nation building. I analyze these areas from anticolonial and critical Indigenous standpoints from which gender and Indigenous identities weave through the text.

NOTES ON THE CURRENT SITUATION IMPUNITY The Convergence for Human Rights condemns an attempt to give immunity to military personnel accused of genocide Guatemala, 24.11.2011 (CA, SV) .- The Convergence for Human Rights denounced the attempt to pass a bill that favors military personnel accused of crimes against humanity, so that they cannot be judged by the Guatemalan courts. The independent MP Christian Bousinott presented under pretext of national urgency, the 37-11 Initiative, which according to Iduvina Hernandez, director of the Association for the Study and Promotion of Democratic Security (SEDEM) had already been passed by Congress in its second reading in 2008. However, when comparing the initiative now submitted, which was shelved for three years, Hector Nuila, Nineth Montenegro and Aníbal García-members of Congress, realized the phrase "with the exception of crimes considered against humanity " had been removed. They were forced to withdraw from the Chamber, to break quorum and prevent final approval of the document. Julio Solórzano Foppa, the son of one of the victims of internal armed conflict, said: "This was a deceitful and illegal act. They intended for us to believe that these falsified documents were the ones approved in 2008." Oswaldo Samayoa, human rights activist, said an investigation has begun to criminally prosecute those who collaborated in the falsification and manipulation of the draft.

  • Participación Política De La Juventud NIMD Guatemala
    Ciudad de Guatemala, Octubre 2019. JÓVENES INTERCAMBIAN EXPERIENCIAS DE PARTICIPACIÓN POLÍTICA EN RECIENTES ELECCIONES 2019 Por: Nadia Waleska Rivera/Oficial de Comunicación ara generar cambios positivos en la sociedad se necesita el involucramiento y participa- ción de todos los sectores, desde el Instituto Holandés para la Democracia Multiparti- daria se promueven espacios de diálogo e intercambio de sectores que históricamente han sido excluidos de la vida política de Guatemala; la juventud es uno de ellos, actual- Pmente el NIMD brinda formación y capacitación a jóvenes vinculados con partidos políticos. La participación política de la juventud en Guatemala, es un tema estigmatizado por la misma sociedad, donde los jóvenes no tienen muchas posibilidades de postularse y optar a un cargo público, debido a la poca oportunidad de participación y empoderamiento de este sector. Guatemala es un país donde se fomenta el adultocentrismo “relación social asimétrica entre las personas adultas, que ostentan el poder y son el modelo de referencia para la visión del mun- do, y otras personas, generalmente la niñez, adolescencia y juventud”; aunado a este problema también está la estructura social y política excluyente, patriarcal y machista que no permite una verdadera participación de la juventud principalmente mujeres y pueblos indígenas del área rural. Desde el 2015 el NIMD desarrolla jornadas de participación política con jóvenes a través de las Escuelas de Formación para la Democracia, donde los jóvenes aspirantes a políticos adquieren destrezas
