Une équipe pluridisciplinaire s'est intéressée au « pays Quiche » situé dans les hautes terres occidentales du Guatemala. Celles-ci, où sont concentrés les trois quarts de la population indienne du pays, sont occupées depuis l'époque préclassique (600 ± 100 av. J.-C), selon les résultats des fouilles archéologiques. Cependant, les trois archéologues de l'équipe étudient essentiellement le site classique (600-900 ap. J.-C.) de Los Cerritos Chijoj : A. Ichon analyse la fonction des édifices cérémoniels ; H. Lehmann décrit le jeu de balle ; M.-F. Fauvet-Berthelot, s'attachant plus spécialement à la zone d'habitat de ce site, met en évidence d'une part la relation étroite entre la fonction sociale des « structures » et l'aménagement de l'espace, d'autre part la fonction à la fois résidentielle, funéraire et cérémonielle de cette zone.

Paradise in Ashes is a deeply engaged and moving account of the violence and repression that defined the murderous Guatemalan civil war of the 1980's. In this compelling book, Beatriz Manz-an anthropologist who spent over two decades studying the Mayan highlands and remote rain forests of Guatemala-tells the story of the village of Santa María Tzejá, near the border with Mexico. Manz writes eloquently about Guatemala's tortured history and shows how the story of this village-its birth, destruction, and rebirth-embodies the forces and conflicts that define the country today. Drawing on interviews with peasants, community leaders, guerrillas, and paramilitary forces, Manz creates a richly detailed political portrait of Santa María Tzejá, where highland Maya peasants seeking land settled in the 1970's. Manz describes these villagers' plight as their isolated, lush, but deceptive paradise became one of the centers of the war convulsing the entire country. After their village was viciously sacked in 1982, desperate survivors fled into the surrounding rain forest and eventually to Mexico, and some even further, to the United States, while others stayed behind and fell into the military's hands. With great insight and compassion, Manz follows their flight and eventual return to Santa María Tzejá, where they sought to rebuild their village and their lives.
