"This is an important book. It brings together in one place state-of-the-art pieces by the scholars and scholar-activists who have made--and are making--the Maya area, especially Chiapas and Guatemala, one of the leading regions in the world for the theory and practice of indigenous human rights advocacy."--Jan Rus III, coeditor of "Mayan Lives, Mayan Utopias: The Indigenous Peoples of Chiapas and the Zapatista Rebellion"
