Christine A. Kray is professor of anthropology at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. A political anthropologist, Kray focuses her research on the dynamics of power and culture. She is coeditor of Nasty Women and Bad Hombres: Gender and Race in the 2016 US Presidential Election and Race, Gender, and Political Culture in the Trump Era: The Fascist Allure

“Kray masterfully conducts a rich and detailed exploration of a part of the Caste War that has, until this point, inexplicably escaped thorough scholarly attention. The book’s insights on Western Belize and the San Pedro Maya are especially significant because most of the extant literature on the Caste War and its implications for Belize have remained focused on the northern border region.”—Rajeshwari Dutt, Indian Institute of Technology Mandi  “A work of enormous value that focuses on the perspectives and experiences of the Maya people by giving priority to the scarce documents left by the Yucatec Mayas who inhabited the British dominions.”—Juan Castillo Cocom, Universidad Intercultural Maya de Quintana Roo
