This book deals with the modern, northern half of the Isthmus, its social struggles and its varied problems in adapting a backward region to the need and ways of industrial civilization. It presents a view of the modern Isthmus Zapotecs, living around Juchitan and Tehuantepec.
Miguel Covarrubias (1904-1957) was born in Mexico City. During his lifetime he became known as an outstanding painter and caricaturist. He later found equal fame with the publication of his two main books Island of Bali and Mexico South, both of which became classics in their different areas. His knowledge of art, archaeology, ethnology and anthropology gave his work a unique profundity. For several years he was Professor of Art History in the National School of Anthropology in Mexico City.
