  • Karla Ballesteros

The main objective of this book is to combine a series of reflections on the Audiovisual Ethnographic Archive of the Instituto Nacional Indigenista, as well as to give an account of the context in which it was created and developed as part of a visual record of the social organization and other aspects of the native peoples of Mexico. It also tells us about the different stages this organization has gone through and its repercussions on the productions.
