Xaicabo talks about how living in Philadelphia permitted him to amass a certain amount of capital. That capital made it possible for him to start a buisness when he returned to his home village of Mirador, Puebla. "In life we are not here just for mothering, we are here to do something." In 5 years he managed to save $200,000 by working two jobs, sometimes three. |

These photographs were made during the summer of 1969. A University of Pittsburgh field training grant for anthropologists permitted me a six-week stay in Santa Isabel Xiloxoxlta, a small village on the lower levels of the Malinche extinct volcano. While learning anthropological field methods I was able to take the series of photographs that are part of my Tlaxcalan Sketches series. I later revisited and re-photographed in Santa Isabel in 1971. |
