Abstract
I had been impatiently awaiting publication of M. Bianet Castellanos's new book, Indigenous Dispossession: Housing and Maya Indebtedness in Mexico. Her 2010 monograph, A Return to Servitude: Maya Migration and the Tourist Trade in Cancún had a huge impact on me. A Return to Servitude… is a beautifully rendered ethnography of the causes and consequences of Mexico's vast Maya internal migrant stream. It documents the critical importance of the Maya, along with Mexico's other indigenous groups, for the development of modern Mexico
