The introduction by Professor Kelley adds scholarly analysis to the poignant autobiographical narrative."-Booklist

This review is from: A Yaqui Life: The Personal Chronicle of a Yaqui Indian (Paperback)
I gave 4/5 stars only because the book had underlines and highlighting and the book was marked "clean" -- but hey it's a used copy and that happens sometimes. Seller is fantastic, ships fast, will definitely do again.
