Case histories of an ethnic tragedy....
Rather than a comprehensive book about modern guatemala or a human rights thesis this is an anthropological study of violence.

There are 10 different case histories all written by different people who are among the top guatemalan scholars. In these case histories is information and analysis that isn't available in most books and it covers some areas of the country not always touched on by scholars. The whole thing is held together by an exellent 35 page introduction and a final chapter of conclusion with a wonderful chronology of events. Over all an exellent book for serious students but maybe not for beginners.

This is a study about the mayan people that provides exellent incites from the perspective of social anthropologists and ethnographers as opposed to activists or journalists. The contributors have spent enormous amounts of time with their subjects and know them well.
