This is a book of very broad scope about a single Mexican village. Tepoztlan, the village, is placed on a time line that extends from the tenth century A.D. and the Toltec Empire, to the present; from legendary history to contemporary anthropological observation. The main focus of the book is upon life as it is lived today in this village, typical of many, by the Mexican peasant. Economics, intrafamily relationships, and the life cycle are described (from publisher).
