Reviews for Maya in Exile
"Effectively interweaving ethnography and applied anthropology, this book contributes significantly to our understanding of the complex issues involving resettlement. The inclusion of Maya voices is particularly evocative, helping to personalize the challenges associated with changing family roles, community structure, and ethnic identities." —James Loucky, Professor of Anthropology, Western Washington University
