Description: "This book presents a close-up of Guatemalan indigenous culture and its wealth of traditions and customs. This heritage, and its continuity over the centuries, was wrought by protagonists similar to those who capture our attention here. We are given images of people immersed in daily or ritual tasks, in both urban and rural life, between the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. We can appreciate the ways in which their identities have been defined and are constructed, and we can see their life-styles when subjected to modern globalization. We are forced to examine different aspects of our changing identity"--P. [2] of cover.
