Mayas in postwar Guatemala : Harvest of violence revisited / edited by Walter E. Little and Timothy J. Smith.

Like the original Harvest of violence, published in 1988, this volume reveals how the contemporary Mayas contend with crime, political violence, internal community power struggles, and the broader impact of transnational economic and political policies in Guatemala. However, this work, informed by long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Mayan communities and commitment to conducting research in Mayan languages, places current anthropological analyses in relation to Mayan political activism and key Mayan intellectuals' research and criticism.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-211) and index.
