      abstract = {This intriguing work explores the world of three amate  artists. A native tradition, all of their painting is done  in Mexico, yet, the finished product is sold almost  exclusively to wealthy American art buyers. Cowen examines  this cultural interaction between Mexico and the United  States to see how globalization shapes the lives and the  work of the artists and their families. The story of these  three artists reveals that this exchange simultaneously  creates economic opportunities for the artists, but has  detrimental effects on the village. A view of the daily  village life of three artists connected to the larger art  world, this book should be of particular interest to those  in the fields of cultural economics, Latino studies,  economic anthropology and globalization.},
