1) You are a member of an 8th century Itza Maya elite governing family in an economically self-sufficient tzuk or province which has been alternatively controlled either by Tikal or by Calakmul as part of their various regional states for the last several centuries as they compete with each other for political supremacy. But no matter whether Tikal or Calakmul is ascendeant, each city has been increasing the amount of tribute demanded from our province, while there has been no companion increase in any services to offset these taxes. Furthermore, the air is thick with rumors that their kingdoms are beset with corruption and inefficiency. You decide your tzuk should break your people’s entrapment in this cycle, and you lobby your fellow community members for the need to mount a rebellion. What Mesoamerican strategies will you expect to employ to pursue your revolution? What strategies will you employ to restructure the cultural, social, economic, and political values to attract and recruit other tzuks to join the break-away polity that you hope to help establish? (You believe it crucial to recruit other tzuks for your plan to work, in view of the adage ‘security in number.’)
