Description
Popular culture tends to simultaneously lose and gain in the era of globalization. The singularity and internal self-reproduction of popular cultures have dwindled, but at the same time their vibrancy and dynamics have thrived and multiplied. This volume covers subjects ranging from the relations between Indians and Spaniards in Colonial Mexico, through the contemporary statures of popular cultures of the Chilean urban poor, the Brazilian traditionalists, and the Bahian black youth, to the fate of commercialized Mexican handicraft.
