Wainwright (geography, Ohio State U.) offers a postcolonial Marxist analysis of the colonization and development of southern Belize, among the poorest regions in Central America. He is particularly concerned with how colonial powers construct the territoriality of development by binding together political identity with development and settlement and the way in which postcolonial nationalist movements often continued with such practices. In order to show how this manifested in southern Belize and how it impacted the Maya people, he examines the works of a colonial scientist instrumental in transforming colonial discourse into a discipline of development, two development projects aimed at "settling" Maya agriculture, and the counter-mapping project of the Maya Atlas.
