The Caste War is a fascinating and under-explored corner of history. I read Nelson Reed's book 30 years ago and happily re-read it recently. Thank you for surfacing this complex conflict again in this excellent post!

Thanks for reading, John. It is a fascinating and complex part of Yucatán's storied history. I really appreciate your input.

Glad I came across your work. I used to frequent Yucatán as a master's degree student, fell in love with the people and the place. Hope to go back again sometime soon and will definitely refer to your page before I do.

Thanks again! If you read Nelson Reed, assume you were studying the Maya? Yes, it’s a great region, so much to it, from wonderful people to knockout beauty. I write about the Maya a good portion of the time in my posts - mil gracias!!
