Book Synopsis
A common misperception is that Mayas have no languages of their own, only dialectos, and therefore live in silence. In reality, contemporary Mayas are anything but voiceless. This book is a collection of poems and short stories by indigenous authors from Chiapas, and is an inspiring testimony to their literary achievements.

Trade Review
Chiapas Maya Awakening is a long-awaited contribution to American literature. Readers of all cultural backgrounds will find fertile ground for self-reflection in the works of these contemporary Maya writers, rooted in their oral traditions and in the worlds of their ancestors."" - Christine Eber, coauthor of The Journey of a Tzotzil-Maya Woman of Chiapas, Mexico: Pass Well over the Earth
