The Blood of Guatemala: A History of Race and Nation (Latin America Otherwise)

Rating:
Summary: brilliant and imaginative
Review: "Anyone interested in Latin American history will enjoy this myth-and-stereotype-shattering study of Mayan cultural and national identity. Thick with novelistic detail and anecdote, brilliantly and imaginatively researched, totally engrossing in its melding of convincing analysis and strong narrative sweep, Grandin takes us to a 'high place' and guides us back over the tangled, treacherous paths that led there"
