About the Book
This book was inspired by the connection made between Javier Armas studying Mesoamerican history and Miguel and Lorena who were eager to learn about their own Mayan-Mam history. Together they met twice a week and did over twenty-five interviews of Mam native speakers, reviewed thirty academic history books and thirty academic articles regarding the Mayan-Mam language and the changing societal conditions of the Mam community. This book is the notes of a textbook for both Mayan-Mam students and students of all backgrounds to learn about an important historical lineage. This book balances history with language, in one way and politics with anthropology in another. It crosses these disciplines to introduce the student to the array of angles and aspects Mayan-Mam history embodies.
