Abstract
The Maya culture of Belize had an exceptional continuity and vitality throughout its history. Despite the difficult publishing situation in Belize and its complex social
condition, its literature is trying to get out of its isolation and be known thanks to bilingual
editions in English and Spanish. An interesting example of this literary production is the
poetry of Amado Chan, an intellectual from Orange Walk District, in the Northern part of
the country. This paper analyses his poetic production in the context of contemporary
Belizean culture and its multiple linguistic, social and literary identities.
