Maya Roads with Mary Jo McConahay

Over a span of some thirty years, the author witnesses archaeological discoveries, the transformation of the Lacandon people, the Zapatista indigenous uprising in Mexico and increased drug trafficking, and she assists the uncovering of a war crime. The region's great change, from a time when the jungle had virtually no roads and no visitors to the era of vacationers and adventure travelers who now arrive daily, is revealed in this unique exploration of the adaptation and resolve of a people.
