Guatemalan Journey
Definitely a must read if you are planning a trip to Guatemala (which I am). The author went to live in Guatemala in 1988 as a Fulbright Scholar and this book is a culmination of his experiences traveling and living in the country for two years. It also outlines the history of Guatemala, which includes periods of authoritarian rule followed by a short period of democracy derailed by the military with support from the USA, back to military rule with opposition from mostly Mayan Indian guerillas from small poor towns. The author, Benz, discusses how tourism has destroyed the culture and at the same time has saved the Guatemalan poor by creating jobs. An expansive look at the society. Unfortunately, his negative opinion of tourism ("foreigners") was overwhelming.
