Book Description: Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, 1978. Soft Cover. Book Condition: Near Fine +. Color & b/w Photos (illustrator). Not Indicated. By Enrique Torres "Rico" (San Diegotitlan, Califas) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME) If you are interested in the Arts of the Huichols and their sacred rituals than find this book. I've looked over several books offered in Mexico and the United States on the Huichol and have found that this book is still king. I visited their cultural center in Nayarit this past summer and what is offered now pales by comparison. This book is written in a style that is like a sociological study at times but the case studies are fascinating and worth reading. The author covers the religious use of peyote and the often drug induced weavings that result from their visions. Although the ritualistic use of peyote and their yarn paintings are some of the things the Huichol are known for, the book is much more complex and delves into the social structure of the group as well. There are many color plates and black and white photographs that lend a realism to the book . The various contributing authors take the reader on a journey with them into the world of the shaman, including his initiation and rituals. There is a very intersting chapter that deals with acculturation and economics. This is an extremely beautiful book that will please the senses for years. Recommended for those interested in one of Mexico's indigenous groups that has resisted the onslought of European culture for centuries. Buyer beware, if you find this book you may get spoiled with the other offerings out there on the Huichols of Mexico. Recommended for seekers of knowledge of a seperate reality and the magnificent Art of the Huichol Indians. Bookseller Inventory # 031541
