Awesome! Leah is a good friend of mine. I used to work with her in the Mopan Valley (on the other side of Belize from where I am now). She just published a kids book in English, Spanish, and Yucatek Mayan with some of our friends at the Institute of Archaeology here, for distribution in classrooms. It is great. Her teaching resources are wonderful.
Thanks for posting this, Laurie. I'll just make one correction: Yaxnohcah is occupied from about 1000 BCE to 850 CE (almost 2000 years).
I've just started reading this book and I'm already finding it to be a valuable supplement to the readings that I'm doing for ANTH 499. I'm not even a quarter of the way through and I find that I agree with the endorsement by Candace Savage on the back of the book: "Required reading for all Canadians"
I agree with Savage's endorsement. It is a challenging read not the least because of the horrific consequences of famine, disease and government policies that exaccerabated both.
Wow. That is unfortunate, especially for a SAR volume. You should submit a book review somewhere.
