Abstract
This paper tests competing class and pluralist paradigms of Guatemalan ethnicity by comparing their ability to predict access to preferred market locations in a biethnic urban marketplace. Analysis of stand location reveals that ethnicity is a far less powerful determinant of success in competition for preferred spots than urban residence among both Indian and Ladino vendors, and that once the greater number of Ladino urban residents is discounted, the ability of members of each group to obtain desired spots is roughly equivalent. The paper concludes that economic criteria are more important than ethnicity in the study of Guatemalan social structure.
