Nuevo Mexico Profundo
Book (italiano):
In this volume published in conjunction with an exhibit premiering at the National Hispanic Cultural Center of New Mexico, photographer Gandert records the sacred and secular rituals of the Mesitz peoples of the Upper Rio Grande. Included are images of the great Indo-Hispano regional traditions, the Matachines conquest drama dance, and the multifaceted Comanches celebrations. The image and story of Our Lady of Guadalupe is in evidence in a sacred landscape crisscrossed with procession and pilgrimage. Four essays provide the context for the rituals and dances, examine how the Rio Grande culture traveled up and down the river, the social relations among participants in the photographs, and biographical information on Gandert. Contains 130 b&w photographs. Oversize: 10x10.75<">. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
