- This 77,000-word single author book was developed from research undertaken between 2007 and 2017, including 22 months of primary field research in Mexico. The depth and scope of the research is significant in that it analyses multiple factors in Mexican artisans’ experiences within global ethnic art markets through time. These include tourism, the politics and economics of art markets, national heritage and identity, intellectual property, and ideologies of aesthetics, artisanship and authenticity. The book presents a new critical understanding of the relationship between value and aesthetics, within a larger framework that investigates economies of culture.
