The author's considerable gift as a writer and admirable empathy with the subject and the different (and opposing) actors are two notable qualities that make Indigenous Apostles a compelling read. Revealing both the inner workings of Maya society and the research process of a superb mind, this book deserves the widest possible readership. - Jean Meyer, Centre for Research and Teaching in Social Sciences, Mexico City
