Conquest and Survival in Colonial Guatemala: A Historical Geography of the Cuchumatn Highlands, 1500-1821
W. George Lovell
Exposes the colonial roots of problems at the heart of Guatemala's ongoing political crises George Lovell's classic work, based primarily on unpublished archival sources, examines the impact of Spanish rule on the Sierra de los Cuchumatanes, an isolated region of Guatemala running along the country's north-western border with Mexico. Although Spanish imperialism left its mark, Lovell reveals that the vibrant Maya culture found in the Cuchumatan highlands was not obliterated and, although under considerable stress, endures to this day.
