Tradiciones Populares Mexicanas / Popular Mexican Traditions

A people without tradition is a people without a future, affirmed the Colombian journalist and politician Alberto Lleras with great success. The essence of the traditions reaffirms our future and cultural continuity. Knowing our traditions and our history guarantees identity and unites us as a pluricultural country in the face of the problems of a world that, little by little, globalizes and moves away from the enriching diversity. Rescuing and disseminating Mexican traditions is the task that the author of this book intends to carry out from an anthropological and historical perspective. In it we can know what were the first markets that existed in colonial Mexico, the origin of bread, the history of the "Judas" of the Sabbath of Glory, the wonder of the waist loom, some indigenous games, the incredible foundation of the neighborhood of Tepito, the first bread that Christopher Columbus tasted when he arrived in the Americas, and many other topics that are part of our extraordinary Mexican traditions
