Summary
A New Book Series focused on Creating Awareness for Human Rights.
The first, the Aztecs, in a series of books from documentary photographer Wesley Billingslea that will focus on raising awareness about a number of cultures that have either been forgotten or misunderstood. These "lost cultures" have much in common - from the economic survival of their people, whose lives are often filled with racism and endless human rights challenges, to the attempts to keep their own ancient traditions alive.
About the Series
In early 2007, Teotl Publishing will launch the first in a series of books from documentary photographer Wesley Billingslea that will focus on raising awareness about a number of cultures that have either been forgotten or misunderstood. These "lost cultures" have much in common - from the economic survival of their people, whose lives are often filled with racism and endless human rights challenges, to the attempts to keep their own ancient traditions alive.
Each volume will feature Wesley's striking black and white photographs and will be accompanied by illuminating text, much of which has been supplied by the same people whose lives have been directly impacted by - in some cases - hundreds of years of untruths and skewed histories. For many, these collaborative efforts will be the first opportunities to break misconceptions about their respective cultures by voicing their own opinions, views and historical truths.
Lost Cultures: The Aztecs, the first in this enlightening series of books, will finally reveal the truth about one of the most prolific and often misunderstood civilizations in history and how, despite beliefs to the contrary, its people live on today. From human sacrifices to the Spanish conquest, one of the first known acts of genocide, this book will provide a truthful and unflinching view of the Aztecs' real history, not an account contrived by outsiders.
Then in February 2008, Lost Cultures: The Immigrants will hit bookstore shelves.Future books will feature Farm Workers, Farming, the Apaches and the Homeless.
With the tremendous media coverage from ABC and NBC television, radio and numerous newspapers and magazines, both mainstream America and its growing Latino population have embraced the message of education and understanding in fighting racism.
Teotl Publishing will supplement this book series with more information about these cultures through traveling photographic exhibits, DVDs and dedicated websites.
