"Mexico: A Photographic History sees the light some thirty years after the founding of the Fototeca Nacional, one of the most important photo archives in Latin America. Not only does the book constitute a virtual history of the art of photography in Mexico, it also offers indispensable documentary testimonies to over 150 years of social, political, cultural, artistic, scientific, and economic happenings in Mexico, from the middle of the nineteenth century to our own day." "Mexico: A Photographic History provides concise descriptions of forty of the Foto-teca's most important collections, illustrated by a rich sampling of the most representative photographs they contain. Carefully researched and impeccably presented, this book is sure to become an indispensable sourcebook for historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, ethnologists, and artists, while its wealth of material will be a delight for all lovers of the photographic image."--Jacket
