Books by Ann Murdy
“On the Path of Marigolds was published in 2019. Ann Murdy has spent some 20 years traveling to villages in Oaxaca, Puebla and Michoacán, photographing Day of the Dead festivities.

As long as they live in our memories, family members and loved ones who have died remain with us. That’s what is celebrated on the Day of the Dead, an indigenous Latin American tradition that survived both Catholic missionaries and the modernizing state to flourish in recent years, featuring in more than one Hollywood blockbuster. Regina Marchi, a professor at Rutgers University and author of Day of the Dead in the USA, talks us through the origins, evolution and contemporary celebrations of the Day of the Dead.
