Window into Another World: The Weavers of Guadalupe Miramar, Mexico
Weaving Yarn, Weaving Cultures, Weaving Lives: A Circle of Women in Miramar, Oaxaca, Mexico,by Judith Lockhart-Radtke; photography by Tom Feher; Almadia, November, 2010, ISBN 978-607-411-059-3.
This beautifully written and illustrated book tells the story of ten years of cross-cultural cooperation between the Circle of Women, based in the U.S. and in the city of Oaxaca, and the isolated, impoverished women weavers of Guadalupe Miramar, a pueblo high in Mexico's Sierra Madre. It combines touching first-person stories of the individual weavers, an in-depth narrative of the years of intense face-to-face and side-by-side work it took to help these women move from poverty, illiteracy and dependency to self-sufficiency, being able to speak, read and write Spanish, and dignity.
You can read a full review at http://www.suite101.com/content/window-into-another-world-the-women-weavers-of-miramar-mexico-a353082.
Weaving Yarn, Weaving Cultures, Weaving Lives can be purchased online at http://www.thecircleofwomen.org/. All proceeds go to further the work of the Circle of Women.
