Indeed, as Sheldon Annis argues in this book, Protestantism may have helped tip Guatemala's guerrilla war in behalf of the army during the early 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut what is it about Protestantism--and about Indians-- that has led to massive religious conversion throughout the highlands? And in villages today, what are the dynamics that underlie the competition between Protestants and Catholics?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSheldon Annis addresses these questions from the perspective of San Antonio Aguas Calieutes, an Indian village in the highlands of midwestern Guatemala. Annis skillfully blends economic and cultural analysis to show \u003ci\u003ewhy\u003c\/i\u003e Protestantism has taken root. The key \"character\" in his drama is the village Indian's tiny plot of corn and beans, the \u003ci\u003emilpa\u003c\/i\u003e, which Annis analyzes as an \"idea\" as well as an agronomic productive system. By exploring \"\u003ci\u003emilpa\u003c\/i\u003e logic,\" Annis shows how the economic, environmental, and social shifts of the twentieth century have acted to undercut \"the colonial creation of Indianness\" and, in doing so, have laid the basis for new cultural identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"God and Production in a Guatemalan Town | Sheldon Annis | Paperback | 9780292727427 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1788810","offer_id":50931008340226,"sku":"1788810","price":24.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81vVmFyL8lL.jpg?v=1793498115","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/god-and-production-in-a-guatemalan-town","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
