review: Editorial Reviews Review “…essentially an introductory text…the richly detailed ethnographic descriptions are accompanied by oral accounts with personal quotes well supported by Fukuda’s photographic essay… a good starting book to learn about this celebration in Mexico.” · Anthropos "This is an extremely appealing book ... the photography is absolutely outstanding ... The care taken to integrate the photos with the text and ensure the reader does not get a misleading impression from the visuals is remarkable. The book really is a model of how to use professional quality visual material to enrich an ethnographic account rather than simply to delight the eye." · John Gledhill , University of Manchester About the Author Shawn D.
