Description
"I cannot imagine a better chronicler of this time and place than McConahay." --Richard Rodriguez, PBS NewsHour and author of Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez and Brown: The Last Discovery of America [An] extraordinary travel memoir. --Laura Fraser, author of An Italian Affair and All Over the Map "Superb. . . . McConahay is one of the region's finest journalists, who writes with the reporter's sharp eye, and the heart of witness." -Stephen Kinzer, author of Bitter Fruit: The Story of the American Coup in Guatemala In Maya Roads, McConahay draws upon her three decades of traveling and living in Central America's remote landscapes to create a fascinating chronicle of the people, politics, archaeology, and species of the Central American rainforest, the cradle of Maya civilization. Captivated by the magnificence and mystery of the jungle, the author brings to life the intense beauty, the fantastic locales, the ancient ruins, and the horrific violence. She witnesses archaeological discoveries, the transformation of the Lacandon people, the Zapatista indigenous uprising in Mexico, increased drug trafficking, and assists in the uncovering of a war crime. Over the decades, McConahay has witnessed great changes in the region, and this is a unique tale of a woman's adventure and the adaptation and resolve of a people. Journalist Mary Jo McConahay began covering Central America as a war correspondent in the 1980s and lived in Guatemala for eleven years. Her work has appeared in Vogue, Rolling Stone, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Time and is included in several anthologies. She lives in San Francisco."--
