The Indigenous Cultures of Mexico: Ethnology and Ethnography
(Benson Latin American Collection, 1992-01) Hironymous, Michael O.
The study of the great diversity of culture encountered throughout Mexico was first undertaken by a handful of Catholic friars directly following the arrival of the Spanish. However, except for some observations recorded in the written accounts of occasional travelers through the area, little concern was shown towards the native populations until late in the nineteenth century. Since the conclusion of the Revolution of 1910, there has been a growing interest in understanding their way of life and documenting the changes brought about by the increasing contact with modern civilization. This bibliography presents a selection of anthropological studies about the indigenous cultures of Mexico which were produced from 1920 to 1991.
