More Info
After having the opportunity to live in Guatemala, and experience the culture, I read 'Guatemalan Journey'. I found it to be an accurate description of life in Guatemala. It was well written and interesting. It was amazing how the author captured so many realities of daily life so precisely. He was able to 'bring words to life'. If you would like to learn more about Guatemala, the complex culture, the wonderful people, the beautiful country, and the pain they have suffered, and still do in some respects, this is a must read.
From Amazon.com
One of the most racist books I have ever read. Page after page the author unrelentingly displays his complete hatred and disgust with anyone who is white or mestizo while he endlessly praises the perfection of the indigenous population. If you agree with this black and white view of the world you will enjoy this book. If you feel the real world is even slightly more complex, then you will find this book impossible to read.
