Endangered Cultures

An anthology of papers from journals and monographs. They consider the phenomena, organizational support, user-centered systems, management, and cases. The first English translation of the classic Culturas en peligro (Alianza Editorial Mexicana, 1976) by Mexican anthropologist-historian Leon-Portilla (emeritus, National U. of Mexico), in which he examines what happens when internal or external factors, or both, threaten the very core of a culture.
