Great book and seller
I took Dr. Sandstrom's Anthropology class, and had to read his book as part of the course. It is not an easy read. One or two pages seemed to take forever, and the information is dry and very systamatic. We also had to read the Forest People by Collin Turnbull, which is an excelent book about African Pygmies. Dr. Sandstrom should have taken some insight from Turnbull's work and used it. However, his work is informative, and provides a good overview of Indian life in Mexico, its history and the changes that have taken place in the last century. I would not have read this book unless I was doing a study of Mexican Indians. Dr. Sandstrom is an excelent story teller, and it was disapointing that this didn't come through in his work. The book as a few good parts, but the reader has to slog through a lot of boring facts and figures to find them.
