Ethnology comprises the seventh and eighth volumes in the Handbook
of Middle American Indians, published in cooperation with the
Middle American Research Institute of Tulane University under the
general editorship of Robert Wauchope (1909-1979). The editor of
the Ethnology volumes is Evon Z. Vogt (1918-2004), Professor of
Anthropology in the Department of Social Relations, Harvard
University. These two books contain forty-three articles, all
written by authorities in their field, on the ethnology of the Maya
region, the southern Mexican highlands and adjacent regions, the
central Mexican highlands, western Mexico, and northwest Mexico.
Among the topics described for each group of Indians are the
history of ethnological investigations, cultural and linguistic
distributions, major postcontact events, population, subsistence
systems and food patterns, settlement patterns, technology,
economy, social organization, religion and world view, aesthetic
and recreational patterns, life cycle and personality development,
and annual cycle of life. The volumes are illustrated with
photographs and drawings of contemporary and early historical
scenes of native Indian life in Mexico and Central America. The
Handbook of Middle American Indians was assembled and edited at the
Middle American Research Institute of Tulane University with the
assistance of grants from the National Science Foundation and under
the sponsorship of the National Research Council Committee on Latin
American Anthropology.
