Cover of Yaqui women

Yaqui women

"All the women presented led a 'typical' Yaqui life. All suffered poverty, extended forced migration#x14;caused either by poverty or the Mexican government#x14;and actual physical abuse. Yet they also present much variation, including personalities from 'happy' to 'sad,' women who assumed both traditional and modern dress and ways, women who limited their activities solely to their house and those active in the social and religious lives of their community, and women who lived in the Yaqui Valley, Hermosillo, and Tucson, Arizona."—From publisher.
