El Dia de los Muertos: Day of the Dead in the USA: The Migration and Transformation of a Cultural Phenomenon (Latinidad: Transnational Cultures in the United States) Paperback

Day of the Dead in the USA: The Migration and Transformation of a Cultural Phenomenon provides a one of a kind and valuable approach to introducing the Day of the Dead celebrations in the US. Mexico has a very colorful way of celebrating the day of the dead and US has a different way of demonstrating the rich culture. Mexicans celebrate the day of the dead in a much more contemporary way especially in the cultural economy and urban community of a different place.

I enjoy how the author combines ethnography, historical research, oral history, and cultural analysis and exploring the transformation from the traditional to the contemporary approach of celebrating the festivity. This book is educational in a positive and interesting way. With the 216 pages, you can learn a lot because of its vast information about the celebration, the significance, and how people have celebrated from Latin America to US.

You will have an enjoyable experience reading the book especially when it starts exploring series of vibrant and colorful sceneries during the festivity. The book will give you a lot of interest when it talks about the unique rituals and the engaging journey through the communities. I personally recommend this book to the media scholars and even just the regular enthusiasts of the Mexican culture.
