Book Synopsis Guatemala Journey Among the Ixil Maya by : Susanna Badgley Place
Book excerpt: For over two millennia, the Ixil Maya communities of northwestern Guatemala have fought to preserve their unique language and cultural identity. The ancient homelands of these mountain Maya encompass 2,324 square kilometers of magnificent cloud forests, gushing waterfalls, secluded valleys and the townships of Nebaj, Chajul, and Cotzal in the rugged Sierra de los Cuchumatanes. This unconventional guide invites Guatemalan and international travelers to discover the extraordinary beauty and rich culture of the Ixil Region through its history of struggle and resilience, local knowledge, heartfelt conversations, and hands-on experience of ancestral cultural traditions, economic innovations, and social transitions.
