Distilling the Influence of Alcohol

The alcohol economy also helped shape Guatemala's turbulent categories of ethnicity, race, class, and gender, as these essays demonstrate. Established and emerging Guatemalan historians investigate aguardiente's role from the colonial era to the twentieth century, drawing from archival documents, oral histories, and ethnographic sources.

Economia alcoolului a contribuit, de asemenea, la conturarea categoriilor turbulente de etnie, rasa, clasa si gen din Guatemala, asa cum demonstreaza aceste eseuri. Istoricii guatemalezi consacrati si emergenti investigheaza rolul aguardiente-ului din epoca coloniala pana in secolul al XX-lea, bazandu-se pe documente de arhiva, istorii orale si surse etnografice.
