Human Rights in the Maya Region
Dry, but it does what it was supposed to do. I like that it doesn't gloss over the racism etc of the Famous Five.
On another note, I remember being in 1L and all my ghastly peers peppering their speech with references to stuff we'd learned about in class, including this case. They'd have these godawful ~debates amongst themselves where they'd invoke the living tree doctrine etc. I'm amazed my face isn't stuck in a permanent scrunch of disgust tbh.
