Product Description

This local study of the impact of political violence on a Maya Indian village is based on intensive fieldwork in the department of El QuichÈ, Guatemala, during 1988-1990. It examines the processes of fragmentation and realignment in a community undergoing rapid and violent change and relates local, social, cultural, and psychological phenomena to the impact of the war on widows' lives.
