From Scorched Earth To Palm Beach: The Maya Are Coming To Florida

“Everything has been transformed by the narcotráfico,” says O’Laughlin, who has often traveled to Huehuetenango, where most of Florida’s Maya residents are from. “The entire fabric of life has been destroyed.” YUUUPPPP ...Mendez, herself a Guatemalan-born Maya, concedes that integrating Maya newcomers can be a challenge as well. As indigenous people, for example, they’re not always accepted as part of mainstream Latino culture. And that points to another big obstacle.... I wish that integrating Mayan people into mainstream Latino culture wasn't a goal. Indigenous Guatemala is it's own category and culture.
