This book examines how Mexican artisans and artistic actors
participate in translations of aesthetics, politics, and history
through the field of craft. The contributors build from historical
and ethnographic archives and direct engagement with makers to
reassemble an expanded vision of artisanal production in Mexico and
the complicated classifications that surround Mexican popular
art-making-from the American "craft" to the Spanish "artesania."
This book also homages Dr. Janet Brody Esser's research on the
Blackmen masquerades of Michoacan, exploring African culture in
Mexico. The contributors provide wide-ranging insight into the
colonial influences on Mexican popular art and its translation as
well as the agency of creators and actors.
