Amara. Un viaje tras las pisadas del pueblo rarámuri
México. Estado de Chihuahua. Allí, entre quebradas y desfiladeros de la Sierra Tarahumara, viven “los hombres de pies alados”, “los que caminan veloces”, los rarámuri, un grupo indígena hermético y misterioso. Y allí decidí ir… Fui para ver, para escuchar, para buscar… También, para escribir. Para ellos soy un cabochi: “el que tiene arañas en la cara”. Un extranjero. Un extraño… Me dijeron que no lo hiciera, que era imposible, que lo que buscaba no existía. Decidí hacerlo. Fui. Y con ellos viví. Esta mi historia. Su historia. Nuestra historia. De una búsqueda. De un lugar mágico… Amara. Muchos viajeros han querido viajar a allí. No es fácil llegar. Menos aún, regresar. Solo un consejo: no busques el viaje…, el viaje te buscará a ti.

In the Sierra Madre
A stunning history of legendary treasure seekers and enigmatic natives in Mexico's Copper Canyon The Sierra Madre--no other mountain range in the world possesses such a ring of intrigue. In the Sierra Madre is a groundbreaking and extraordinary memoir that chronicles the astonishing history of one of the most famous, yet unknown, regions in the world. Based on his one-year sojourn among the Raramuri/Tarahumara, award-winning journalist Jeff Biggers offers a rare look into the ways of the most resilient indigenous culture in the Americas, the exploits of Mexican mountaineers, and the fascinating parade of argonauts and accidental travelers that has journeyed into the Sierra Madre over centuries. From African explorers, Bohemian friars, Confederate and Irish war deserters, French poets, Boer and Russian commandos, Apache and Mennonite communities, bewildered archaeologists, addled writers, and legendary characters including Antonin Artaud, B. Traven, Sergei Eisenstein, George Patton, Geronimo, and Pancho Villa, Biggers uncovers the remarkable treasures of the Sierra Madre.
Conversion to Christianity
One of the most striking developments in the history of modern civilizations has been the conversion of tribal peoples to more expansively organized "world" religions. There is little scholarly consensus as to why these religions have endured and why conversion to them has been so widespread. These essays explore the phenomenon of Christian conversion from this world-building perspective. Combining rich case studies with original theoretical insights, this work challenges sociologists, anthropologists and historians of religion to reassess the varieties of religious experience and the convergent processes involved in religious change.
