Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the success of PlazaPublica's model as an online, independent, non-profit newspaper, founded at Rafael Landivar University in Guatemala from its launch in 2011 until 2015. While PlazaPublica is still in existence, this case study will only focus on the first years of its onset. The case study presented here is of a digital native online media outlet with a narrative identity based on long and deep investigations. It looks at factors that contributed to its success including: PlazaPublica's institutional support from Rafael Landivar University, support that made it possible for Plaza to innovate in ways that helped it grow and do in-depth journalism; The role of the co-founders and how their backgrounds contributed to the conceptualization and development of this unique model; The political climate within Guatemala and how PlazaPulica reflected it, including the role of telecommunications; and Describing the innovation that defined PlazaPublica and how others understood it. This investigation uses Everett M. Roger's Diffusion of Innovations theory to analyze the factors that contributed to PlazaPublica becoming a news innovation model that diffused in its historical context. Peter F. Drucker's work on innovation and entrepreneurship as a practice to help define the essence of PlazaPublica and the innovation action and behaviors used by its founders. Lastly, the dissertation describes the emerging ecosystem of online journalism in the Guatemalan context and PlazaPublica's influence on this ecosystem. It uses the ecosystem approach as set out by Nanette Levinson who defined an ecosystem as "both the network of organisations involved in a formal alliance and the connections and characteristics of the environmental setting of each individual, participating organisation, as well as of the current (or planned) alliance as a whole" (Levinson, 2010). Levinson's framework helps to better understand how PlazaPublica's model, set out in a formal and planned alliance with the University of Rafael Landivar, had the conducive environment to develop, grow, and gain social capital so that its reporting could have more reach.Included in this analysis is a discussion on whether the model set out in PlazaPublica could provide an opportunity for alternative forms of independent or in-depth journalism in the emerging ecosystem of online journalism in the Guatemalan context and beyond.
Download or read book For All of Humanity written by Martha Few and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smallpox, measles, and typhus. The scourges of lethal disease—as threatening in colonial Mesoamerica as in other parts of the world—called for widespread efforts and enlightened attitudes to battle the centuries-old killers of children and adults. Even before edicts from Spain crossed the Atlantic, colonial elites oftentimes embraced medical experimentation and reform in the name of the public good, believing it was their moral responsibility to apply medical innovations to cure and prevent disease. Their efforts included the first inoculations and vaccinations against smallpox, new strategies to protect families and communities from typhus and measles, and medical interventions into pregnancy and childbirth. For All of Humanity examines the first public health campaigns in Guatemala, southern Mexico, and Central America in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Martha Few pays close attention to Indigenous Mesoamerican medical cultures, which not only influenced the shape and scope of those regional campaigns but also affected the broader New World medical cultures. The author reconstructs a rich and complex picture of the ways colonial doctors, surgeons, Indigenous healers, midwives, priests, government officials, and ordinary people engaged in efforts to prevent and control epidemic disease. Few’s analysis weaves medical history and ethnohistory with social, cultural, and intellectual history. She uses prescriptive texts, medical correspondence, and legal documents to provide rich ethnographic descriptions of Mesoamerican medical cultures, their practitioners, and regional pharmacopeia that came into contact with colonial medicine, at times violently, during public health campaigns.
Download or read book Paradise in Ashes written by Beatriz Manz and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2004-03-15 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of the violence and repression that defined the murderous Guatemalan civil war of the 1980s. Manz, an anthropologist, spent over two decades studying the Mayan highlands and remote rain forests of Guatemala. In a political portrait of Santa María Tzejá, where highland Maya peasants seeking land settled in the 1970s, Manz describes these villagers' plight as their isolated, lush, but deceptive paradise became one of the centers of the war convulsing the entire country. After their village was viciously sacked in 1982, desperate survivors fled into the surrounding rain forest and eventually to Mexico, and some even further, to the United States, while others stayed behind and fell into the military's hands. Manz follows their flight and eventual return to Santa María Tzejá, where they sought to rebuild their village and their lives. From publisher description.

Download or read book Guatemala U S Migration written by Susanne Jonas and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2015-01-05 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guatemala-U.S. Migration: Transforming Regions is a pioneering, comprehensive, and multifaceted study of Guatemalan migration to the United States from the late 1970s to the present. It analyzes this migration in a regional context including Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States. This book illuminates the perilous passage through Mexico for Guatemalan migrants, as well as their settlement in various U.S. venues. Moreover, it builds on existing theoretical frameworks and breaks new ground by analyzing the construction and transformations of this migration region and transregional dimensions of migration. Seamlessly blending multiple sociological perspectives, this book addresses the experiences of both Maya and ladino Guatemalan migrants, incorporating gendered as well as ethnic and class dimensions of migration. It spans the most violent years of the civil war and the postwar years in Guatemala, hence including both refugees and labor migrants. The demographic chapter delineates five phases of Guatemalan migration to the United States since the late 1970s, with immigrants experiencing both inclusion and exclusion very dramatically during the most recent phase, in the early twenty-first century. This book also features an innovative study of Guatemalan migrant rights organizing in the United States and transregionally in Guatemala/Central America and Mexico. The two contrasting in-depth case studies of Guatemalan communities in Houston and San Francisco elaborate in vibrant detail the everyday experiences and evolving stories of the immigrants’ lives.
Download or read book Contemporary Indigenous Movements in Latin America written by Erick Detlef Langer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2003 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efforts of Indians in Latin America have gained momentum and garnered increasing attention in the last decade as they claim rights to their land and demand full participation in the political process. This issue is of rising importance as ecological concerns and autochtonous movements gain a foothold in Latin America, transforming the political landscape into one in which multiethnic democracies hold sway. In some cases, these movements have led to violent outbursts that severely affected some nations, such as the 1992 and 1994 Indian uprisings in Ecuador. In most cases, however, grassroots efforts have realized success without bloodshed. An Aymara Indian, head of an indigenous-rights political party, became Vice President of Bolivia. Brazilian lands are being set aside for indigenous groups not as traditional reservations where the government attempts to 'civilize' the hunters and gatherers, but where the government serves only to keep loggers, gold miners, and other interlopers out of tribal lands. Contemporary Indigenous Movements in Latin America is a collection of essays compiled by Professor Erick D. Langer that brings together-for the first time-contributions on indigenous movements throughout Latin America from all regions. Focusing on the 1990s, Professor Langer illustrates the range and increasing significance of the Indian movements in Latin America. The volume addresses the ways in which Indians have confronted the political, social, and economic problems they face today, and shows the diversity of the movements, both in lowlands and in highlands, tribal peoples, and peasants. The book presents an analytical overview of these movements, as well as a vision of how and why they have become so important in the late twentieth century. Contemporary Indigenous Movements in Latin America is important for those interested in Latin American studies, including Latin American civilization, Latin American anthropology, contemporary issues in Latin America, and ethnic studies.
