The Day of the Dead is the most important annual celebration in Oaxaca, Mexico. Skillfully combining textual information and photographic imagery, this book begins with a discussion of the people of Oaxaca, their way of life, and their way of looking at the world. It then takes the reader through the celebration from the preparations that can begin months in advance through to the private gatherings in the homes and finally to the cemetery where the villagers celebrate together - both the living and the dead.Curt Fukuda is the author of 'Day of the Dead: When Two Worlds Meet in Oaxaca', published 2004 under ISBN 9781845450830 and ISBN 1845450833.
