Imagining New Worlds

- (Human Geography: People, Places and Change series, Part 1) The hurly-burly of Cancun, Mexico, looks remarkably different to the international tourists who come to get away, the Mayan descendants who farm their fathers' land, the Mexicans who find employment at the resourts, and the global corporations that see opportunity for investments. These contrasting experiences of different peoples in the same region are what geographers call "geographical imaginations." When traditional and modern views of the same land evolve and clash, political unrest like that in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas is sometimes the result.
