Lost Cultures: The Aztecs by Wesley Billingslea with H. Henrieta Stockel (Teotl Publishing, $14.95)
This first in a series of books by documentary photographer Wesley Billingslea, focuses on raising awareness about a number of cultures that have either been forgotten or misunderstood. The Aztecs were certainly misunderstood and, despite beliefs to the contrary, its people live on today. Billingslea’s intriguing images and highly readable text honor these remarkable people, once victims of one of the first known acts of genocide. Haunting, unflinching, and brave, this book celebrates a resilient people and their ancient traditions.
