Summary:
"Producto de una profunda investigación etnográfica sobre los ritos y la memoria colectiva, la presente obra es un recorrido por los pueblos de la Costa Chica de México y su destino es ser lectura obligatoria para quien quiera entender el mundo de la cultura negra afromexicana. A partir de sus viajes a Guerrero y Oaxaca y su contacto con doña Eva, una anciana fuerte y corajuda de Chacahua, Natalia Gabayet, armada de un sólido bagaje teórico y de una experiencia de trabajo de campo de muchos años, se adentra en la vida de estas comunidades, y mediante el estudio de la 'danza de los diablos', la 'danza del toro de petate' y de las prácticas rituales del nahualismo, desentraña la complejidad cultural y el sistema de pensamiento de estos pueblos, marginados en lo económico y olvidados en lo simbólico. La conclusión es también un urgente llamado a la conciencia, a aceptar y reconocer otra raíz cultural de México: la africana"-- Publisher's description. http://www.libros.unam.mx/el-tigre-escondido-memoria-ritual-de-los-pueblos-negros-de-la-costa-chica-9786073039253-libro.html
"Product of an in-depth ethnographic research on rites and collective memory, this work is a journey through the towns of the Costa Chica of Mexico and its destiny is to be compulsory reading for those who want to understand the world of Afro-Mexican black culture. From her travels to Guerrero and Oaxaca and her contact with Doña Eva, a strong and courageous old woman from Chacahua, Natalia Gabayet, armed with a solid theoretical background and a fieldwork experience of many years, delves into the life of these communities, and through the study of the 'dance of the devils', the 'dance of the petate bull' and the ritual practices of Nahualism, unravels the cultural complexity and the thought system of these peoples, economically marginalized and forgotten in the symbolic. The conclusion is also an urgent call to conscience, to accept and recognize another cultural root of Mexico: the African"-- Publisher's description, Google Translate.
