Carrying the Word by Susanna Rostas
A full-length study of the Concheros dancers. It explores the experience of this unique group, whose use of dance links rural religious practices with urban post-modern innovation in distinctive ways even within Mexican culture, which is rife with ritual dances. It is of interest to students and scholars of contemporary Mesoamerica.
