Combine-ism: They Are the Gods Who Never Left. Spiritual Ethnography in Veracruz’s Huasteca Region

  • Mauricio Genet Guzmán Chávez

This book is a proposal for an analysis of ethnicity understood as the socio-cultural, historical and political condition in which broad sectors of the Mexican population find themselves, whose ancestors are counted as the original inhabitants upon the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th century. Inhabitants bearers of a culture whose central characteristic has been its persistence, the capacity to resist and reinvent themselves as collectivities throughout five centuries and the years that have elapsed in the XXI century.
