520			_aExamines the lives of several Mopan Maya women in Belize. Using ethnographic narratives the author explores Mayan women's strategies for enduring, escaping and avoiding abuse. Factors such as gender, age inequalities, marriage patterns, family structure, educational opportunities and economic development all play a role in either preventing or contibuting to domestic veiolence in the village. The author argues that using narrative ethnography, instead of cold statistics or dehumanised theoretical models helps to keep the focus on people, "rehumanising" our understanding of violence.
