Away from the nation's affluent suburbs was another country, one inhabited by the poor, the ill-fed, the ill-housed, and the ill-educated. This was the assertion made by author Michael Harrington in his 1962 book, The Other America: Poverty in the United States. Harrington's book had an impact on the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. President Johnson's "Great Society" plans aimed to address the problems of poverty in America.
… In the 193os, Sylvanus G. Morley of Harvard,
probably the most celebrated Mayanist of his day,
espoused [argued for] what is still the best-known
theory: The Maya collapsed because they
overshot the carrying capacity of their
environment. They exhausted their resource
base, began to die of starvation and thirst, and
fled their cities en masse, leaving them as silent
warnings of the perils of ecological hubris
[overconfidence].…
— Charles C. Mann, 1491: New Revelations of the
Americas Before Columbus
According to this passage, what was a major
question Morley was trying to answer about the
Mayas in the 193os?
(1) Why did the Mayas abandon their cities?
(2) What was the structure of the Maya
governments?
(3) How did religious beliefs affect the Maya
economy?
(4) Which neighboring city-state conquered the
Mayas?
This sentence indicates that Morley was primarily interested in figuring out how the invaders were able to damage the Maya people in the 1930s.
The Maya are a group of Mesoamerican Indians that live in southern Mexico, Guatemala, and northern Belize in nearly continuous territory. More than five million individuals, the majority of whom were multilingual in Spanish, spoke about 30 Mayan dialects at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
The Maya had one of the most advanced civilizations in the Western Hemisphere prior to the Spanish conquest of Mexico and Central America.
They engaged in agriculture, constructed enormous stone structures and pyramidal temples, worked with gold and copper, and employed a hieroglyphic writing system that has now mostly been deciphered.
The Maya established an agriculture centered on the production of corn (maize), beans, and squash as early as 1500 BCE; by 600 CE, cassava (sweet manioc) was being grown. The Maya were a nomadic people who lived in villages.
