"Clearly demonstrates that research in the Ch' orti' area (southeastern Guatemala, western Honduras, and northwestern El Salvador) is surging across disciplinary boundaries. . .this volume is a very welcome addition to literature. By returning to the tradition (often lost in this time of specialization and disciplinary fragmentation) of combining a four-field anthropological approach with interdisciplinary research in the study of a complex area and its residents, past and present, this volume highlights ongoing debates, fills lacunae, and significantly enrichesour understanding of this dynamic region."
