Abstract
The relations between two "races," Pokomám Indians and ladinos, in a Guatemalan community are described. This situation is similar to some others in Latin America in that no conflict is involved. A tentative explanation is offered, based on the fact that the two groups have parallel cultures, oriented toward distinct goals. Thus, the two groups are culturally isolated rather than physically segregated, which is the reverse of the racial situation in North America.
