| Summary: | "The photographers discussed in this book probe the most contentious aspects of social organization in Mexico, questioning what it means to belong, to be Mexican, to experience modernity and to create art as a culturally, politically or racially marginalized person. By choosing human subjects, spaces, and aesthetics excluded from the Lettered City, each of the photographers discussed in this volume produce a corpus of art which contest dominant narratives of social and cultural modernization in Mexico.
