    Notes:
    "For the past six years, Jean-Marie Simon has been photographing people and reporting events from this hauntingly beautiful and remote land. Her text and pictures tell the story of a people imprisoned, particularly the Mayan Indians, whose lives have been so torn apart by political strife. This is a beautiful book; yet at the same time it is incredibly disturbing in its portrayal of a civilization violated by the army, police, and paramilitary government forces."

    Notes:
    "First work of a young Haitian born author, How to Make Love to a Negro without getting tired is still valid seventeen years after its release. Meanwhile, the novel became a classic of Quebec literature and Dany Laferriere has been recognized as a major writer of French literature. Greeted by unanimous criticism and enthusiastic audiences, How to Make Love to a Negro Without Getting Tired was a resounding success in several countries, particularly in the Anglophone world in which we compared its author to Bukowski and Miller."
