Interesting photos, but more tourist manual
I was looking for more insight into the dances of the Tewa people. You do get some insight here but it still feels like you are an outsider. There is alot of general information here like the outer reason for a dance, where it is, generally when, but that's about it. Yes there are a few nice photos.

This review is from: Dances of the Tewa Pueblo Indians: Expressions of New Life (Resident Scholar) (Paperback)
A good systematic description of Tewa dances and performances. This work is a neat overview of the various dances as carried out in the Tewa villages of northern New Mexico. Sweet's analysis is informed by her working relations among Pueblo people. The recent edition includes contemporary testimonies of Pueblo people who continue to navigate and balance their culture within (and outside) the tourism and art industry.

This review is from: Dances of the Tewa Pueblo Indians: Expressions of New Life (Resident Scholar) (Paperback)
I was looking for more insight into the dances of the Tewa people. You do get some insight here but it still feels like you are an outsider. There is alot of general information here like the outer reason for a dance, where it is, generally when, but that's about it. Yes there are a few nice photos. But I was looking for more insight into the mythology behind the origin of the dances and the specific elements on the costumes. That is not here. In the end it reads like a travel guide for the dances and not anything mystical (which is what I wanted).
