"In Watching Lacandon Maya Lives, the author follows three generations of one Lacandon
Maya family. Readers track the subjects' lives as they shift through events such as
marriage, parenthood, and religious conversion, all set against a backdrop of increased
tourism, road construction, and the murders of two people in the community. This book
encompasses both ethnography and a critique of ethnographic writing. At one level,
the book is about social, agricultural, technological, and religious changes that
have occurred in a Lacandon Maya community in Mexico. At a second level, the book
is a critique of those who invented a Utopian picture of a "traditional" Lacandon
past that never really existed. For cultural anthropologists, or anyone interested
in learning more about this Mayan culture"
