LP and Nicole spoke a bit about Yucatec Mayan history in this episode. Here are 2 of Nicole's favorites:

Yucatan's Maya Peasantry & the Origins of the Caste War, by Terry Rugeley

Maya Saints & Souls in a Changing World by John M. Watanabe (this one is actually about a village in Guatemala, but it's an excellent case study in acculturation)
