Embodying Mexico

<p>Embodying Mexico examines two performative icons of Mexicanness--the Dance of the Old Men and Night of the Dead of Lake Patzcuaro--in numerous manifestations including film theater tourist guides advertisements and souvenirs. Covering a ninety-year period from the postrevolutionary era to the present day Hellier-Tinoco's analysis is thoroughly grounded in Mexican politics and history and simultaneously incorporates choreographic musicological and dramaturgical analysis.</p>
