Klappentext "Indeed, they [the Mayan Indians] are more subtly penetrated by Carter Wilson than were the famous 'Children of Sanchez,' as tape-recorded by Oscar Lewis. Without the intrusion of theory and without even a shadow of jargon, Mr. Wilson has given his book sociological validity. At the same time, it remains a work of poetic truth." -- New York Times Book Review Zusammenfassung Products of the "imagination," such as novels, can be especially useful tools for understanding how things work in societies far removed from our own experience. Through the telling of a story, a sound ethnographic novel conveys more than information. This book is a result of authors field experience.
