The second edition of the book by archaeologist Ivan Šprajc, a considerably enlarged version of the first edition published in 2009, is a first-person narrative of his explorations in the Maya area. ...Written by a distinguished expert and published in German in 2015, with an English translation currently in press in the USA, it is an adventurous story presenting in a reader-friendly way the incidents, difficulties, dangers, and triumphs experienced by an archaeologist in the tropical forest of southeastern Mexico. The thematically rounded episodes following the chronological order of Sprajc's expeditions include interesting information about the life of the ancient Maya, about their settlements, economy, social order, religious life, politics, and the emergence, development, and collapse of their civilization, as well as about the lives of their modern descendants, the technological advances of archaeology, and Mexico's concern for cultural heritage. The book is equipped with an overview map and a wealth of photographic material.Publication of this book was made possible by generous gifts from Slovenian supporters of Šprajc’s expeditions: Abanka, Ars longa, Adria kombi, and National Geographic Slovenia (Rokus Klett Publishing House).
Značilen pojav, ki ga lahko opazimo v Mehiki, je ruralno urbana migracija oziroma preseljevanje ljudi s podeželja v mesta. Zadnjih nekaj let se stopnja preseljevanja avtohtonih prebivalcev v mesta na ...severu Mehike, še zlasti v Monterrey, kjer iščejo zaposlitev, nenadzorovano veča. Ko migranti prispejo v to velemesto, imajo zaradi prikrite diskriminacije težave s prilagajanjem mestnemu okolju. Glavni argument in hipoteza tega članka je, da se ti ljudje sami družbeno izolirajo in segregirajo, ker se bojijo (kulturne in rasne) diskriminacije in nasilja. Podatke za to študijo smo zbrali s pomočjo terenske raziskave, za katero smo leta 2009 in 2010 v Monterreyu intervjuvali 350 avtohtonih prebivalcev, ki so se tja priselili iz različnih krajev v Mehiki.
