This book is the first social history, culture and politics of death in a nation that made it their symbol of guardianship. By examining the history and symbolism of death, this innovative study marks a milestone in understanding the rich and unique job that Mexicans make the imagery of death. Unlike contemporary Europeans and Americans, whose denial of death permeates their cultures, the Mexican people display and cultivate a jovial familiarity, an intimacy which became the cornerstone of their national identity.
