Book Description
The Unrated Colors of Guatemala follows four young men during a twenty-four-hour sabbatical through the unpredictable streets of contemporary Guatemala. Thomas is an American in his mid-twenties who moved to Guatemala, after college, to attend Dental school. After two years of being removed from the privileged American life he once knew, Thomas' priorities are no longer the same and he must decide whether to continue trying to live up to other people's expectations or his own. On the day that his fourth semester ends, Thomas joins Jorge, Chavez, and Victor on a drugged-out joy ride that reveals the spirited subculture of Guatemala's urban youth. Throughout the journey, they are all met with unexpected reminders of their deepest fears, forcing them to confront their young insecurities of love, life, purpose, and faith. What starts as a typical evening of irresponsible debauchery turns into a midnight road trip through the untamed mountains and an escape for survival.

Book Description
"Guatemala is a land of contrasts: stunning mountain, river, and cloud forest landscapes with the constant threat of volcanic eruptions, mudslides, earthquakes, and brutal upheavals. Against this backdrop, the indigenous Maya and their Ladino compatriots persist in creating some of the loveliest and most colorful textiles the world has known. Their weaving, spinning, and basketmaking have sustained them economically and culturally against the pressures of change and a thirty-six year armed conflict that decimated their population. In Traditional Weavers of Guatemala, twenty artisans share their personal histories, hopes, and dreams along with the products of their hands and looms"--Inside cover.
