Elilal, exile, is the condition of thousands of Mayas who have
fled their homelands in Guatemala to escape repression and even
death at the hands of their government. In this book, Victor
Montejo, who is both a Maya expatriate and an anthropologist, gives
voice to those who until now have struggled in silence--but who
nevertheless have found ways to reaffirm and celebrate their
Mayaness.
Voices from Exile is the authentic story of one group of Mayas
from the Kuchumatan highlands who fled into Mexico and sought
refuge there. Montejo's combination of autobiography, history,
political analysis, and testimonial narrative offers a profound
exploration of state terror and its inescapable human cost.
