The world has two dominant images of the Maya: one as the builders of magnificent, but now ruined, temples and cities in the rainforests of Central America; the other as a militant peasantry, such as the Zapatistas of Chiapas, confronting the inequalities of the modern state. Maya activists draw quite explicitly on an historical consciousness of five hundred years of cultural resilience.
