Bethany J. Beyette, ""The Only True People": Linking Maya Identities Past and Present"
English | ISBN: 1607325667 | 2017 | 306 pages | EPUB | 4 MB

"The Only True People" is a timely and rigorous examination of ethnicity among the ancient and modern Maya, focusing on ethnogenesis and exploring the complexities of Maya identity—how it developed, where and when it emerged, and why it continues to change over time.
