"This one was my first artist book Caxixis-New York: a parallel between street fairs in New York City and a remote small town in northeast Brazil. The photographs taken as soon as I came to New York reflect the psyche of my first moment arriving abroad and having learned to look at the world that way I assigned myself the task of incorporating this quality of otherness to my own origins. Shown side by side these two essays form a parallel between street fairs in New York City and a remote small town in northeast Brazil. <br />The resulting body of work resulted in a solo show in my native city; this book was a companion piece. Having no bindery at home it was made in my mother’s kitchen using whatever materials I could find around. The hand of the maker sure shows: the original 35mm images were acrylic-medium-transfered to the pages. It is a low-tech process that involves vast amounts of rubbing. In addition a few of the images were silk-screened. <br />A book dealer asked me to get together some ephemera related to the show – that was when I realized: I have been doing this for so long now there is even history to it…" Artist Statement hardcover books

En nuestro país las fiestas populares de corte religioso nacidas en los años de la Colonia tienen una gran importancia en especial por poner de manifiesto la pervivencia de culturas originarias anteriores a la irrupción española y la interrelación conocida como sincretismo de aquellos mundos el originario y el occidental. Una de las fiestas prevalecientes es la del Niñopa xochimilca Cristo que continúa congregando año tras año a miles de fieles en una tradicional festividad decembrina. En estas páginas se estudia este hecho desde una doble perspectiva; la sociocultural y la histórica. La visión de aquella fiesta comprende en el trabajo de Cordero López el registro de su celebración inclusive en los días que corren. El volumen cuanta con fotografías de la imagen venerada.

When I almost died it was just after midday." When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley in Pakistan one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday October 9 2012 when she was fifteen she almost paid the ultimate price. She was shot in the head at point-blank range while riding the bus home from school and few expected her to survive. Instead Malala's miraculous recovery has taken her on an extraordinary journey from a remote valley in northern Pakistan to the halls of the United Nations in New York. At sixteen she became a global symbol of peaceful protest and the youngest nominee ever for the Nobel Peace Prize. I AM MALALA is the remarkable tale of a family uprooted by global terrorism of the fight for girls' education of a father who himself a school owner championed and encouraged his daughter to write and attend school and of brave parents who have a fierce love for their daughter in a society that prizes sons. I AM MALALA will make you believe in the power of one person's voice to inspire change in the world. Back Bay Books unknown books

Black/red wraps with color image and white lettering. 875 pp. with no illustrations. 1 or 2 charts. The reign of the entourages: Cabinets and advisers of the executive. Conference publication. Text in French. "Pas une ligne de la Constitution française ne les mentionne et pourtant les « collaborateurs de l'ombre » - de moins en moins discrets - qui entourent nos dirigeants politiques n'ont cessé de prospérer au fil des régimes au point que notre Ve République hyper-présidentielle est devenue une République de conseillers. Rien ne s'accomplit sans ou contre eux. Quel paradoxe qu'aucun ouvrage savant ne leur ait été consacré depuis plus de trente ans ! Loin des polémiques et des caricatures ce livre répare l'oubli. Il réunit une équipe d'historiens politistes juristes sociologues et anthropologues dont maints spécialistes étrangers ainsi que d'anciens membres de cabinets. Des « créatures » du roi comme les désignait le Grand Siècle aux dir' cab' et jeunes entourages des présidents Sarkozy et Hollande en passant par la « cabinetocratie » bruxelloise et les conseillers de la Maison-Blanche il montre la généralisation du phénomène à tous les échelons du pouvoir dans les démocraties contemporaines. Érudit autant que savoureux cet ouvrage ouvre des pistes de réflexion pour enrichir le débat sur le rôle et l'influence des conseillers du Prince." = Not a line of the French Constitution mentions them and yet the "shadowy collaborators" - less and less discreet - who surround our political leaders have continued to prosper over the regimes to the point that our Fifth Republic -residential has become a Republic of advisers. Nothing is accomplished without or against them. What a paradox that no scholarly work has been devoted to them for more than thirty years! Far from polemics and caricatures this book repairs forgetfulness. It brings together a team of historians politicians jurists sociologists and anthropologists including many foreign specialists as well as former cabinet members. From the King's "creatures" as the Grand Siecle designated them to the dir 'cabs and young entourages of Presidents Sarkozy and Hollande through the Brussels "cabinetocracy" and the White House advisers he shows the generalization of Phenomenon at all levels of power in contemporary democracies. Both scholarly and tasty this book opens up avenues for reflection to enrich the debate on the role and influence of the Prince's advisers. Presses de Sciences Po paperback books

Out in the bike path the manholes I surveyed and portrayed in film do not form much of a coherent message neither do they engage in rhythmic dialogues of continuity and discontinuity. The human element underneath the asphalt does not emerge systematically to passerby eyes either. But I had to do something with them. I had to." artist statement paperback books
