Description: "A powerful ethnohistory/ethnography of the Quiché-Maya. Carmack goes into great detail as he describes 500 years of tense and cyclical sociocultural, economic, and political contact between Maya and Ladino populations. In addition to a complex account of Ladino dominance, the author reveals how the Maya construct powerful responses to their percieved powerlessness"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
