"Summarizes four FLACSO-Guatemala conferences (1988-90) that included intellectuals, clergy, and urban and rural leaders. The volume's innovative style mixes dialogues from the seminars with essays on issues of ethnicity, self-identity, perception of the 'other,' and interethnic relations. The goal is to foster a dialogue on Guatemala's changing landscape, and the place of ethnicity in this process"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
