Book Synopsis
Guatemala emerged from the clash between Spanish invaders and Maya cultures that began five centuries ago. The conquest of these ‘rich and strange lands’, as Hernán Cortés called them, and their ‘many different peoples’ was brutal and prolonged. This book examines the ramifications of Spanish intrusion, especially Maya resistance to it.

Trade Review
Drawn from several decades of research in both Maya and Spanish sources, Strange Lands and Different Peoples brings us a sensitive and beautifully written account of the Spanish conquest and colonization of Guatemala and its indigenous people. The authors do a splendid job of explaining not only the conquest period but also the survival of Maya people and their culture."" - Ralph Lee Woodward, Jr., author of A Short History of Guatemala and Central America: A Nation Divided
