Sandstrom, Traditional Paper Making and Paper Cult Figures of Mexico

 

Type your comments here . . .

 

[Dave Roberts, dlr4@geneseo.edu, 10-2]

 

1.) It is interesting that Sanstrom did not use the real names of the Nahua he studied so as to protect them from the dangers of the outside world.When did he study these people? Do these dangers still exist today? Or have these people already been modernized, industrialized, and Westernized?

 

2.) Be it Europe, Asia, neolithic South America, or present day United  States, it seems that the peasant-elite hierarchy has maintained the same basic relationship, with peasants laboring while the elite control them by buying their resources and cheap labor.

 

3.) I would like to look more into the conflict between the Tlakacans and the Aztec. Why didn't the Aztec share their cotton resources? Was hording the cotton worth a blood feud? Were Tlaxacans unable to  harvest cotton within their region? I would like to feel maquay sometime... I'm sure it can't be too comfortable.

 

-End-
