Mayan Voices for Human Rights: Displaced Catholics in Highland Chiapas by Christine Kovic is an ethnographic study of Mayan Catholics who were expelled from communities in the highlands of Chiapas, Mexico, and their efforts to establish new communities while defending religious, political, and economic rights. Kovic examines the history and causes of the expulsions, the role of the Catholic Diocese of San Cristóbal and Bishop Samuel Ruiz García, and the ways displaced Mayas developed new communities and understandings of human rights and dignity. The book also explores conversion, cultural identity, self-determination, faith, political and economic inequality, and the relationship between traditional Mayan values and contemporary human-rights organizing.
