Paperback. Condizione: New. The Day of the Dead is the most important annual celebration in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Only the souls of loved ones who have gone to the Village of the Dead and who are allowed to return once a year to be with their family. Very readable and beautifully illustrated, this book provides an extensive discussion of the people of Oaxaca, their way of life and their beliefs, which make the Day of the Dead logical and easily comprehensible.…

".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." A 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.
