Maya After War by Jennifer L Burrell
A compelling study of a Guatemalan village, in the wake of civil war and genocide, facing an uneasy transition marked by gang violence, paramilitary security committees, and other power struggles.
Anthropologist Burrell writes movingly and incisively about how that common story has played out in one well-known Maya community, Todos Santos Cuchamatin..From her vantage point in a single indigenous community, Burrell gleans special insights into the varied consequences of labor migration and remittance on social order at home and on a young generation's effort to chart a new course in the world. A highly readable and evocative work. Summing Up: Highly recommended. * Choice *
