Case Studies of Unsuccessful Political Mobilization International Master’s Program in International Studies National Chengchi University 治 A Comparative study of政 Indigenous大 Human Rights in 立 Belize, Guatemala and Mexico學 國 ‧ ‧ N a y t t i i s o r n e a v l i Ch Un engchi By: Aurel Peter Lewis Advisor: Hsueh, Chien-Wu (), Ph. D. January, 2021 DOI:10.6814/NCCU202100255 Abstract Indigenous human rights that are political, civil and cultural have all attracted much attention in the political arena. The Mesoamerican countries provides a suitable study as the vast majority of indigenous Mayas are situated in a central geographic bloc which are Belize, Mexico and Guatemala. While the country of Guatemala has the highest indigenous population amongst its neighboring countries, it seems that the indigenous people do not enjoy much human rights. There are difference in the degree of indigenous human rights among these three countries, and the goal of this thesis is to find out which explanations治 (which are democratization, 政 大 modernization and mobilization) in立 the literature better account for this variation. The research question proposed seems to have a clear puzzle as Belize and Mexico學 respects human right. A 國 deeper look into the question shows that Guatemala lacks cohesion and organizational unity that ‧ prevent the vast majority of indigenous‧ people from improving their human rights. I present here N a y three case studies, including two cases of successful mobilization (The t case of the Maya Leaders t i io s Alliance in Belize, The Case of then Zapotecas in Mexico) and one caser of unsuccessful political a e l i v mobilization (The case of Guatemala National C Revolutionary Unit)n in hope of shedding light to hengchi U the indigenous human rights situation in each country and making it clear which theory has a greater influence on human rights amongst the three countries.

  • A Study of the Garifuna of Belize's Toledo District Alexander Gough
    Indigenous identity in a contested land: A study of the Garifuna of Belize’s Toledo district Alexander Gough This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2018 Lancaster University Law School 1 Declaration This thesis has not been submitted in support of an application for another degree at this or any other university. It is the result of my own work and includes nothing that is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated. Many of the ideas in this thesis were the product of discussion with my supervisors. Alexander Gough, Lancaster University 21st September 2018 2 Abstract The past fifty years has seen a significant shift in the recognition of indigenous peoples within international law. Once conceptualised as the antithesis to European identity, which in turn facilitated colonial ambitions, the recognition of indigenous identity and responding to indigenous peoples’ demands is now a well-established norm within the international legal system. Furthermore, the recognition of this identity can lead to benefits, such as a stake in controlling valuable resources. However, gaining tangible indigenous recognition remains inherently complex. A key reason for this complexity is that gaining successful recognition as being indigenous is highly dependent upon specific regional, national and local circumstances. Belize is an example of a State whose colonial and post-colonial geographies continue to collide, most notably in its southernmost Toledo district. Aside from remaining the subject of a continued territorial claim from the Republic of Guatemala, in recent years Toledo has also been the battleground for the globally renowned indigenous Maya land rights case.

  • Guatemala Timeline
    Guatemala Timeline 1954: The U.S. backs a coup led by Carlos Castillo Armas against Guatemala's president, Jacobo Arbenz, which halts land reforms. Castillo Armas becomes President and takes away voting rights for illiterate Guatemalans. 1957: On July 26, President Armas is killed. 1960: The violent Guatemalan Civil War begins between the government's army and left-wing groups. Thousands of murders, rapes, tortures, and forced disappearances were executed by the Government toward the indigenous peoples. 1971: 12,000 students of the Universidad de San Carlos protest the soaring rate of violent crime. 1980: Maya leaders go to the Spanish Embassy in Guatemala to protest the numerous disappearances and assassinations by the State and to ask that the army be removed from their department, El Quiché. Security forces respond by burning the Embassy, which results in 37 deaths. 1982: Under President/Dictator Ríos Mont, the Scorched Earth policy targeting indigenous groups goes into effect. Over 626 indigenous villages are attacked. The massacre of the Ixil people and the Dos Erres Massacre are two of the most severe genocides during this time. 1985: Guatemala's Constitution includes three articles protecting the indigenous. Article 66 promotes their daily life, including their dress, language, and traditions. Article 67 protects indigenous land, and Article 68 declares that the State will give land to indigenous communities who need it for their development. 1985: The Academy of Mayan Languages of Guatemala (ALMG), which promotes and advocates for the use of the twenty-two Mayan languages in the public and private spheres, is recognized as an autonomous institution funded by the government.

Introduction I am from Jacaltenango, a town in Guatemala, located on the slopes of the Cuchumatan Mountains, a branch of the Sierra Madre in the Department of Huehuetenango. My birth year is 1936. Growing up in the 1940s and 1950s, village life included working in our cornfields, and speaking our Maya Jakalteko (Popti’). Thanks to the Maryknoll missionaries, I could go to a seminary; then I got a scholarship to attend a national school, graduating as a schoolteacher.

  • Dictionary of the Chuj (Mayan) Language
    A DICTIONARY OF THE CHUJ (MAYAN) LANGUAGE As Spoken in San Mateo Ixtatán, Huehuetenango, Guatemala ca. 1964-65 CHUJ – ENGLISH WITH SOME SPANISH GLOSSES Nicholas A. Hopkins, Ph. D. © Jaguar Tours 2012 3007 Windy Hill Lane Tallahassee, Florida 32308 [email protected] i A DICTIONARY OF THE CHUJ (MAYAN) LANGUAGE: INTRODUCTION Nicholas A. Hopkins The lexical data reported in this Chuj-English dictionary were gathered during my dissertation field work in 1964-65. My first exposure to the Chuj language was in 1962, when I went to Huehuetenango with Norman A. McQuown and Brent Berlin to gather data on the languages of the Cuchumatanes (Berlin et al. 1969). At the time I was a graduate student at the University of Texas, employed as a research assistant on the University of Chicago's Chiapas Study Projects, directed by McQuown (McQuown and Pitt-Rivers 1970). Working through the Maryknoll priests who were then the Catholic clergy in the indigenous areas of Huehuetenango and elsewhere in Guatemala, we recorded material, usually in the form of 100-word Swadesh lists (for glottochronology), from several languages. The sample included two speakers of the Chuj variety of San Mateo Ixtatán (including the man who was later to become my major informant). In the Spring of 1962, as field work for the project wound down, I returned to Austin to finish drafting my Master's thesis, and then went on to Chicago to begin graduate studies in Anthropology at the University of Chicago, with McQuown as my major professor. I continued to work on Chiapas project materials in McQuown's archives, and in 1963 he assigned me the Chuj language as the topic of my upcoming doctoral dissertation.

  • Die Sprachensituation in Mexiko1
    Klaus Zimmermann Die Sprachensituation in Mexiko1 1. Die Situation der Indianersprachen 1.1 Allgemeine Informationen Mexiko ist mit ca. 100 Mio. Einwohnern das größte spanischsprachige Land. Diese Spitzenposition bleibt wohl auf Dauer unangefochten, denn es hat außerdem eine relativ hohe Geburtenrate (4 Kinder pro Frau 1980, 2,5 im Jahre 1990 und 2,2 im Jahre 2000).2 Neben der offiziellen Sprache Spanisch werden in Mexiko nach der Definition und Zählung des Zensus und des Er­ ziehungsministeriums 56 autochthone Indianersprachen gesprochen. Die An­ zahl dieser amerindischen oder indoamerikanischen Sprachen in Mexiko ist noch Gegenstand von Kontroversen. Nach den Kriterien der Sprach- und Dialektunterscheidung der mexikanischen Sprachwissenschaftler müssten eigentlich 77 Sprachen unterschieden werden (Manrique Castañeda 1994: 9- 15). Wenn man noch feinere Kriterien ansetzte, käme man auf eine noch höhere Zahl. Die Autoren des Ethnologue (Grimes 2000), die von feineren Kriterien ausgehen, zählen sogar 290 indigene Sprachen. Nach dem derzeitigen Stand der Sprachverwandtschaftsforschungen können diese Sprachen elf Sprachfamilien zugeordnet werden: Hocano-Coa- huilteca, Chinanteca, Otopame, Oaxaqueña, Huave, Tlapaneca, Totonaca, Mixe, Maya, Yutoazteca (Yutonahua), Tarasca .3 Die früher in Mexiko eben­ falls beheimateten Sprachfamilien Guaycura, Pericú, Mangueña und Cuitla- teca sind ausgestorben. Im Zensus von 2000 wurden 6.044.547 Personen über fünf Jahren er­ fasst, die sich als Sprecher indigener Sprachen identifizieren. Zu dieser Zahl Dem Umfang und der Komplexität der mexikanischen Sprachsituation nach hätten zwei Artikel, die Situation der Indianersprachen und die Situation des Spanischen Aufnahme in Mexiko heute finden sollen. Aus wissenschaftlich-konzeptionellen Gründen des Autors wurden diese zu einem integriert (vgl. letztes Kapitel). 2 Cabrera/Lezama (1996: 249).
