Problem: Michael Kearney argued that the study of other cultures is often "a reflection of a political asymmetry in which power, like the knowledge being discovered and produced, is unevenly distributed." Does this mean that the study of Latin America will inevitably replicate inequality? Or are there steps that scholars of Latin America can take to avoid reproducing these asymmetries? If so, what are these steps? Answer by comparing two relevant examples of how anthropologists sought to address these asymmetries, one from either Jennifer Burrell's Maya After War or from Jason De León's Land of Open Graves, and a second example from one other reading from this section of the class (weeks 10-15, see list above). What steps, in particular, did they take? How did these steps affect their observations in the specific examples you're comparing, and how did they affect their larger analysis.
