Nuevo Mxico Profundo: Rituals of an Indo-Hispano Homeland [Paperback]

In this book photographer Miguel Gandert records the sacred rituals and dances of the mestizo peoples of the upper R?o Grande in 130 black-and-white photographs. Included are images of the two great Indo-Hispano regional traditions, the Matachines conquest dance drama, complete with monsters and bull, and the multifaceted Comanches celebration, with its equestrian victory play and boisterous dances.

Photographs document the contemporary followers of the famed Mexican folk healer who died in 1938 and the pilgrimages that continue in his name.
