<br/><br/> McAnany sheds light on the varied ways today's Maya communities relate to--and are often distanced from--their deep past, historicizes the role of archaeologists and nations in pre-Columbian heritage, and highlights how grass-roots heritage programs can bridge scientific investigation and local community interests.
