The Effects of Twentieth - Century Globalization on the Built Envrionment of Silvituc, Campeche, Mexico

Author(s): Sandra Andrade

Year: 2007

Summary

To better understand the role of globalization in culture change, this thesis

investigates how the growing global economy of the twentieth century has affected

the Maya community of Silvituc, Campeche, Mexico, and how those influences are

reflected in the archaeological record. By applying both a macro-scale and microscale

approach this study demonstrates how wage labor and surrounding land

developments, such as the introduction of a highway, have been incorporated into a

subsistence-based society. This will contribute to recognizing and understanding the

effects of world systems pressures in both the past and the present.
