Consumers Reviews


Summary The traditional community of Zapotec respects its customs and conserves its past, while it also has a curiosity about all things new and modern. Here, the past and the present are seen as capable of co-existing in a way that modern societies do not seem to grasp.

Stereotypical ideas about "how" a native culture "should be" are shattered by the intelligent adaptation of the new with the old in this Central American community.
