- W2340760971 abstract "The vast majority of Guatemalan refugees in Mexico are Indians from various regions of the country. The aim of this research is to examine the pattern of displacement from these diverse regions in the early 1980s and contemporary avenues of return for the Guatemalan Maya, with particular emphasis on the refugees' choice of resettlement location and government and military intervention. Documents produced by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Mexican and Guatemalan government organizations created to facilitate the return process, were examined along with reports and communiques issued by the representatives of the Guatemalan refugees in Mexico. Also, human rights workers and members of non-governmental organizations working in Mexico were interviewed for their critical analysis of the return process and insight into the motivating factors influencing the decision-making by the refugees. At every stage in the process of flight, exile, and return, expressions and representations of identity illuminate the complex web of cultural continuity and change. One of the most compelling conclusion of this research is that the meaning of being Maya differs between individuals in different times and different places and that a metamorphosis of identity is evident according to two factors: (1) as the sites of representation shift from rural Guatemala to exile abroad; and (2) as time passes. The primacy of place in the construction and representation of identity is highlighted to reveal the intimate connection the have with ancestral land or land they have transformed by labour, a bond strong enough to pull refugees home to often precarious resettlement conditions." @default.
