zapotec writing

Sven Birkerts says of
Wendy's forthcoming book,
No Word for Welcome:

"Wendy Call works with passion, intelligence and grounded idealism to create an engaged documentary account that is at once informative and stirring. Her portraiture, precise and empathic, brings the realities of Mexico’s indigenous peoples and their threatened mode of existence vividly to life. She does not preach—she evokes."

Zapotec writing, still only partly deciphered, 1995. Photo to right: These spiny trees, common around the city of Juchitán, in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, gave the city its name, 2000.
