About The Kowoj: Identity, Migration, and Geopolitics in Late Postclassic Peten, Guatemala

Neighbors of the better-known Itza in the central Pet???©n lakes region of Guatemala, the Kowoj Maya have been studied for little more than a decade. The Kowoj: Identity, Migration, and Geopolitics in Late Postclassic Pet???©n, Guatemala summarizes the results of recent research into this ethno-political group conducted by Prudence Rice, Don Rice, and their colleagues. Chapters in The Kowoj address the question "Who are the Kowoj?" from varied viewpoints: archaeological, archival, linguistic, ethnographic, and bioarchaeological. Using data drawn primarily from the peninsular site of Zacpet???©n, the authors illuminate Kowoj history, ritual components of their self-expressed identity, and their archaeological identification. These data support the Kowoj claim of migration from Mayap????n in Yucat????n, where they were probably affiliated with the Xiw, in opposition to the Itza. These enmities extended into Pet???©n, culminating in civil warfare by the time of final Spanish conquest in 1697. The first volume to consider Postclassic Pet???©n from broadly integrative anthropological, archaeological, and historical perspectives, The Kowoj is an important addition to the literature on late Maya culture and history in the southern lowlands. It will be of particular interest to archaeologists, historians, ethnohistorians, art historians, and epigraphers.
