The construction of the Maya Train and the destruction of archaeological heritage in the Yucatan Peninsula
El CLACSO Working Group on Borders, Regionalization and Globalization Share the booklet "The Construction of the Maya Train and the Destruction of Archaeological Heritage in the Yucatan Peninsula," published jointly with the Permanent Seminar on Chicano and Border Studies (DEAS-INAH) and the Mexican Network for Action Against Free Trade, available at the CLACSO Virtual Library for free download.
