Description: "A rich autobiographical 'life' of a Guatemalan man of Quiché-Maya background. Good exemplar of a 1990s contribution to the genre of 'giving voice' to one of the heretofore voiceless, including his reflections on his youth, education, and work; war, elders, and medicine among his people; and commentaries on violence in the 'savage nation' of Guatemala. The thorny sampling issue remains: are such highly literate, well-read persons typical of their own peoples?"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
