Voices from Exile

"Elilal, exile, is the condition of thousands of Mayas who have fled their homelands in Guatemala to escape repression and even death at the hands of their government. In this book, Victor Montejo, who is both a Maya expatriate and an anthropologist, gives voice to those who until now have struggled in silencebut who nevertheless have found ways to reaffirm and celebrate their Mayaness."--BOOK JACKET. "Voices from Exile is the authentic story of one group of Mayas from the Kuchumatan highlands who fled into Mexico and sought refuge there. Montejo's combination of autobiography, history, political analysis, and testimonial narrative offers a profound exploration of state terror and its inescapable human cost."--BOOK JACKET.

המשפט הראשון: RECENT DEMOGRAPHIC STUDIES of Guatemala estimate that Mayas make up 60 percent or more of the total population of 9.5 million (Lovell and Lutz 1994: 138).
