Migration is central to human history, yet how we deal with the sojourners among us says much about the soul of a nation. Freedom of movement is an inherent basic human right, yet the protection of a nation’s borders and the decision of who and when and in what conditions people are admitted is also a right that belongs to nation states. It is in this tension that good immigration policy should be found, yet our Congress and many administrations have failed to enact such a policy for over two decades. Aileen Joseph writes with authority and insight based on her 25 years of experience working as an immigration attorney in West Palm Beach, Florida. In her critical analysis of the current immigration policy in America, she shares the stories of those she has represented and suggests ways to revamp the immigration policies hindering our country from advancing and becoming united.

La academia es considerada por muchos como un eje del colonialismo que monopoliza la producción del conocimiento. Fuera de las paredes de la torre de marfil de la academia, existen muchos esfuerzos de las comunidades indígenas y grupos marginados para crear sus propias formas y espacios de producción de conocimiento y educación. Los Mayas en la región Ixil, Guatemala están teorizando y debatiendo estas preguntas sobre las funciones de la educación a través de la Universidad Ixil, fundada en 2011, y la cual se esfuerza por enseñar a los estudiantes formas del conocimiento Maya-Ixil, sus saberes, valores y tichajil (el concepto del buen vivir en el idioma Ixil). El propósito de este artículo es examinar los orígenes de la Universidad Ixil, los problemas y las críticas que ha encontrado, y la esperanza de que su ejemplo pueda servir como un punto de reflexión para los educadores y los investigadores.

Sentado en la orilla del río Yichk’u, es el título de un trabajo en el que Daniel Caño nos invita con la generosidad que le caracteriza a acompañarlo en un viaje por distintos episodios de su vida iniciando precisamente en el escenario de la orilla de ese río que corre y que forma parte de la vida cotidiana de la comunidad Payconob´, la misma que le vio nacer en territorio ancestral del pueblo maya Q’anjob’al en lo que hoy conocemos como el municipio de Santa Eulalia. En esta obra su autor entrelaza elementos simbólicos de la cosmovisión maya con momentos trascendentales del crecimiento como ser humano. Daniel denuncia las cosas injustas que causan un profundo dolor con el que los niños indígenas deben vivir, y a la denuncia social, acompaña el anuncio: El valor de una cultura milenaria en la que la naturaleza es madre.

James Loucky has worked with Maya families in highland Guatemala since the 1970s, and thereafter with Central American and Mexican-descent communities in the United States, as well as on U.S.-Mexico border issues. Following graduate and post-graduate work at UCLA, he began work as anthropologist at Western Washington University, in 1990. His humanitarian and applied commitments are evident in child and family advocacy, as well as collaborative involvement around protections and rights to move in a world of mounting political and planetary challenges. In addition to co-developing the online journal “Maya America,” he speaks and writes about the Maya diaspora, provides expertise in political asylum cases, and works to support indigenous cultural determination and environmental restoration efforts. Katie Goger received her bachelor’s degree in social sciences from California Polytechnic State University and her master’s degree in anthropology from Western Washington University in 2012. She currently is completing her Master of Social Work at Boise State University with anticipated completion in fall 2020. She has over ten years of experience providing evidence-informed parenting prevention and intervention programs, specifically to tribal communities. She continues her work in supporting Indigenous families in her position as a parenting specialist at Lummi Nation Behavioral Health in Bellingham, Washington. Specific interests include participatory action research, separated parenting, intergenerational trauma, parent-child attachment, and mindfulness approaches for children and families.

Victor Montejo analyzes and interprets this Maya folktale as a way of explaining current transnational migration and dislocation in Maya communities. Through the story and the discussion, we see the many aspects of Maya migration, Guatemalan ethnic relations, and the power of modern global capitalism. Written from the standpoint of the year 2009, “The Rabbit and the Goat” establishes a strong marker in time and allows the reader deep insights into the present.

Inbal Mazar is an Assistant Professor of Spanish language and culture at Drake University. Living in six countries sparked an appreciation for cultures worldwide. She strives to share this enthusiasm by promoting culture in and out of the classroom and building connections between students with local, national and international communities.

Her research centers on migration and health from a transnational perspective. She has conducted comparative transnational fieldwork in San Miguel Acatán, a highland hamlet in Huehuetenango, Guatemala and in Palm Beach County, Florida to better understand how migration influences Guatemalan Maya maternal care.
