A showcase of Phyllis Galembo's extraordinary photographs of the costume, ritual and traditions of masquerade Mexico Phyllis Galembo has travelled all over the globe to sites of ritual masquerade. In Africa, the Caribbean, and now Mexico, she captures cultural performances with a subterranean political edge. Using a direct, unaffected portrait style, Galembo captures her subjects informally posed but often strikingly attired in traditional or ritualistic dress. Attuned to a moment's collision of past, present and future, Galembo finds the timeless elegance and dignity of her subjects. Masking is a complex, mysterious, and profound tradition in which the participants transcend the physical world and enter the spiritual realm. In her vibrant images, Galembo exposes an ornate code of political, artistic, theatrical, social and religious symbolism and commentary. Galembo highlights the creativity of the individuals morphing into a fantastical representation of themselves, having cobbled together materials gathered from the immediate environment to idealize their vision of mythical figures. While still pronounced in their personal identity, the subject's intentions are rooted in the larger dynamics of religious, political and cultural affiliation. Establishing these connections is a hallmark of Galembo's work.

"Another Face of Mexico explores Mexican indigenous masked ceremonies. It is the museum catalog for Another Face of Mexico Museum in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The museum houses about 500 of the approximately 1,000 masks in LeVasseur's collection. The book features wonderfully detailed color photos of almost 150 of these masks that have all been used in masked dancing ceremonies in various parts of Mexico. Another Face of Mexico perfectly describes this mask collection, giving the reader a virtual tour of the museum. Masking and masked ceremony is indeed "another face of Mexico," an aspect of this country that most people are not aware of. Man's desire to transform, to disguise, to imagine, to act out, to be something or someone that they are not, to hide and pretend, are all compulsions that can be satisfied by masking. The indigenous people of Mexico continue to this day to be "mask masters," incorporating masked ceremony into their social, religious and cultural celebrations in spite of creeping modernity and contemporary influences. Mask use in Mexico has survived for centuries and masks continue to be indigenous cultural icons."--Amazon.com.

In the Mexican states of Puebla and Veracruz, old masked dances have survived in isolated mountain regions. These dances include wonderful masks of humans and animals, masks with beautiful, comic, or wicked faces. Created by Indigenous master carvers, mascareros, these masks and puppets appear during religious fiestas. Over 700 vivid color photos reveal these masks and puppets in all their glory. The thoroughly researched text answers the questions about who made these beautiful works of art, who these dance characters are, and the nature of the religion they represent. The Spanish conquerors strove to convert the Indian inhabitants of Mexico to Christianity. However, these converts secretly retained important deities from earlier times to accompany Christian elements, creating a poetic blend of beliefs. Given that these indigenous peoples have suffered many injustices, the masks, puppets, and dance dramas reflect many unresolved societal tensions along with veiled wishes for divine justice.
