Résumé
30 ans d'expérience dans l'enseignement ont mené l'auteur à identifier les questions importantes que soulèvent la présentation de l'Histoire de l'Art Maya. Réalisant les implications politiques de ses efforts, il a commencé à assumer sa démarche en associant des Mayas à son enseignement et à ses reconstructions du passé, ce qui, selon lui, a amélioré à la fois la qualité de son enseignement et l'éthique de sa pratique.
