A bold and unflinching portrayal of contemporary Maya life in Chiapas, Mexico.Mikel Ruiz's The Errant Children, the first novel published in the Tsotsil Maya language, offers a bold and unflinching portrayal of contemporary Maya life in Chiapas, México. Pedro Ton Tsepente' has a position in his village's traditional council, but rather than taking just a few ceremonial drinks, he becomes an alcoholic, subject to blackouts and delirium tremens. His wife, Pascuala, rages at God to step in and change her husband's behavior, taking extreme measures when He does not. Their neighbor, seventeen-year-old Ignacio Ts'unun, learns about gender relations by watching television programs where beautiful women are lighter-skinned and about sex by watching pornography, which leads to disastrous choices. These characters' suffering comes not from conquerors, missionaries, or settlers but from invasive economic and cultural forces that can make Indigenous people devalue themselves. Do not expect to be uplifted, but do prepare to be astonished.

Jacinto Ik''alnabil prepara la ofrenda de muertos para honrar a su padre y se traslada al pueblo de Jobel a comprar carne; ahí es apresado e injustamente inculpado de homicidio y condenado al fusilamiento. Hacinado en una celda junto con su hijo Pedro y tres compañeros que iban con ellos, todos son torturados. En su mente, Jacinto va a sus recuerdos de la lucha armada contra el gobierno que permite que los exploten en las fincas, del inicio del levantamiento que lo lleva a ser portavoz de su pueblo y de la muerte de camaradas que pelearon valientemente en aras de la dignidad humana y la libertad. Todo esto en medio de una revolución que muestra su cara más abyecta y que es, más bien, moneda de cambio del pillaje, la injusticia y la artera batalla para ver quién será el próximo detentador del poder.
