Review (PDF) RARAMURI SOULS (Smithsonian Series In Ethnographic Inquiry)

This is a fine ethnographic study of the Raramuri people, their history and world views. If you plan to travel to the Copper Canyon area, where you will have a chance to interact with the Raramuri, this is a great way to gain an understanding of the people and their culture. I found it easy to read and more interesting than many scholarly works. It includes all of the details important in a good anthropological study.
