Book Talk: Rick Jobs will discuss In the Land of the Lacandón: A Graphic History of Adventure and Imperialism
Description
Come and hear about Bernard de Colmont, a French ethnologist, who went to the borderlands of Mexico-Guatemala to study, film, and record the Lacandón people in 1933 ad 1935. The Lacandón were considered a "lost tribe" remotely located in the mountains of Chiapas and deemed to be the closest living relatives of the Maya. Rick Jobs and Steven Van Wolputte have reconstructed this historical episode into a multi-genre study of the production of knowledge.
