Sons of the Shaking Earth

"An interesting and important volume, seriously conceived and skillfully executed." — Howard F. C line, American Anthropologist. "A history of Middle America, Mexico, and Guatemala by an anthropologist who must be almost unique in his field for the breadth of his culture and the charm of his style." — The New Yorker. "The narrative flows and sometimes becomes emotion-imbued, poetic speech; and the student in matters Amerindian will not find a scanting of scholarship."— John Collier, Sr ., Saturday Review. Eric Wolf is professor of anthropology at The University of Michigan.
