Native Peoples of the Gulf Coast of Mexico
For too long, the Gulf Coast of Mexico has been dismissed by scholars as peripheral to the Mesoamerican heartland, but researchers now recognize that much can be learned from this region’s cultures. Peoples of the Gulf Coast—particularly those in Veracruz and Tabasco—share so many historical experiences and cultural features that they can fruitfully be viewed as a regional unit for research and analysis. Native Peoples of the Gulf Coast of Mexico is the first book to argue that the people of this region constitute a culture area distinct from other parts of Mexico. A pioneering effort by a team of international scholars who summarize hundreds of years of history, this encyclopedic work...
Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain
An ethnographic study based on decades of field research, Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain explores five sacred journeys to the peaks of venerated mountains undertaken by Nahua people living in northern Veracruz, Mexico. Punctuated with elaborate ritual offerings dedicated to the forces responsible for rain, seeds, crop fertility, and the well-being of all people, these pilgrimages are the highest and most elaborate form of Nahua devotion and reveal a sophisticated religious philosophy that places human beings in intimate contact with what Westerners call the forces of nature. Alan and Pamela Sandstrom document them for the younger Nahua generation, who live in a world where many are lured away...
Mexico's Spiritual Reconquest
Mexico’s Spiritual Reconquest brings to life a classically misunderstood pícaro: liberal soldier turned Catholic priest and revolutionary antipope, “Patriarch” Joaquín Pérez. Historian Matthew Butler weaves Pérez’s controversial life story into a larger narrative about the relationship between religion, the state, and indigeneity in twentieth-century Mexico. Mexico’s Spiritual Reconquest is at once the history of an indigenous reformation and a deeply researched, beautifully written exploration of what can happen when revolutions try to assimilate powerful religious institutions and groups. The book challenges historians to reshape baseline assumptions about modern Mexico in order to see a revolutionary state that was deeply vested in religion and a Cristero War that was, in reality, a culture clash between Catholics.

Develando la tradición
Esta etnografía de los rituales posee una de las mayores virtudes: la posibilidad de observar in situ aspectos que no siempre están al alcance de la mirada del antropólogo. Independientemente del enfoque utilizado para su análisis, la sola descripción etnográfica abre la posibilidad de ser examinada por otros estudiosos con otra interpretación, ya que los elementos que acompañan la acción ritual no mantienen un único significado, según se demuestra en los 3 volúmenes que integran estos ensayos y que constituyen una verdadera develación de la tradición.

Los sueños y los días: chamanismo y nahualismo en el México actual
En las tradiciones indígenas de México el sueño coexiste con el trance, o es equivalente al mismo, y los chamanes locales lo utilizan para acceder a un espacio-tiempo alterno, caracterizado con distintas representaciones y denominaciones. Los V tomos de la obra “Los sueños y los días. Chamanismo y nahualismo en el México actual”, intentan conciliar el chamanismo, el nahualismo y el viaje onírico.
