Building Yanhuitlan
Through years of fieldwork in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, art historian and archaeologist Alessia Frassani formulated a compelling question: How did Mesoamerican society maintain its distinctive cultural heritage despite colonization by the Spanish? In Building Yanhuitlan, she focuses on an imposing structure—a sixteenth-century Dominican monastery complex in the village of Yanhuitlan. For centuries, the buildings have served a central role in the village landscape and the lives of its people. Ostensibly, there is nothing indigenous about the complex or the artwork inside. So how does such a place fit within the Mixteca, where Frassani acknowledges a continuity of indigenous culture in th...
Adolescencia, identidad y cultura.
El libro permite aquilatar la validez sobre la evolución acelerada de la sociedad, en un sentido y un ámbito muy precisos, pues pormenoriza y coteja los resultados de los sondeos realizados en la Zona Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México en los años 1989 y 1999, relativos a los procesos de socialización y dedicación, mediante los cuales los adolescentes se incorporan a la colectividad como generación de renuevo encargada de reproducir el ciclo social.

Etnografía y oncocercosis
Se plasma en esta obra la manera en que la población afectada por oncocercosis en 1945 fue analizada por un grupo de antropólogos. Este análisis tenía el cometido de identificar y describir lugares donde se localizaba una terrible enfermedad causada por un mosquito que dejaba ciegos tanto a habitantes como a trabajadores de fincas cafetaleras en la costa de Chiapas y a población situada en la porción norte del estado de Oaxaca.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
