This Reader Brings Together More Than 200 Texts And Images In A Broad Introduction To Guatemala'S History, Culture, And Politics.

It Includes Not Only The Opinions Of Politicians, Activists, And Scholars, But Also Poems, Songs, Plays, Jokes, Novels, Short Stories, Recipes, Art, And Photographs That Capture The Diversity Of Everyday Life In Guatemala. The Editors Introduce All Of The Selections, From The First Piece, An Excerpt From The Popol Vuh, A Midsixteenthcentury Text Believed To Be The Single Most Important Source Documenting Prehispanic Maya Culture, Through The Final Selections, Which Explore Contemporary Guatemala In Relation To Neoliberalism, Multiculturalism, And The Dynamics Of Migration To The United States And Of Immigrant Life. Many Pieces Were Originally Published In Spanish, And Most Of Those Appear In English For The First Time.
