Mexico: Emiliano Zapata, the Santa Muerte, and Quetzalcoatl

Written by Kelly Mass

Narrated by Chris Newman

This is a combo book with three different topics, all related to the beliefs, history, and culture of Mexico. The topics are the following:

1: Emiliano Zapata Salazar was a revolutionary in Mexico. He was a key figure in the Mexican Revolt of the years 1910 until 1920, and also the primary leader of the people's revolution in the Mexican state of Morelos and the creator of the Zapatismo agrarian movement.

2: Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec divine being whose name originates from the Nahuatl language and meaning "valuable snake" or "Quetzal-feathered Snake." "Quetzalcoatl, in its actual sense, means 'snake of valuable plumes,' but in the allegorical sense, 'best of men,'" said Ixtlilxóchitl, a descendant of Aztec royalty and history expert of the Nahua people, in the 17th century.

3: The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism. Her worshippers relate her with healing, security, and safe delivery to the afterlife simply because she's a personification of death. In spite of condemnation from Catholic Church leaders and, more just recently, evangelical movements, her following has grown substantially since the start of the twenty-first century.

Reviews for Mexico

[Margy Fish · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

5 stars! Without a doubt the best thing that's happened to me this week. Initially, I was wondering where it was going, but after listening to it for a while, I got into it. Then I saw this specific book for what it was: A fantastic work by an educated author and professional narrator. It's an intriguing concept, the entire premise of this book. You do not generally see that in some other books. And that's why it can use an individual like me to compose a couple of positive things about it.
