An excellent look at Tztotzil life

The Tzotzil people of Chiapas make for a fascinating anthropological study. This partly-fictionalized book (that is, some of the events ascribed to the protagonist are inserted into the book just to give a wider understanding of Tzotzil culture) is an easy and enjoyable read. You will learn a lot about the people, their customs, and their religion (animist mixed with an only vaguely-understood Catholicism). I recommend it.
