The letters presented in this book, spanning the late 1960s to late 1980s, cover a variety of topics relevant to research on rural Mexico (particularly the Alto Balsas region), navigating one's way through the Mexican bureaucracy, dealing with politicians and priests, and coping with sickness. Doing Research in Mexico reveals to readers, especially those familiar with Schryer's other work, information not covered in his earlier publications.
This trove of correspondence provides additional insight into Schryer's life history and his and Foy's long-distance relationship during his extended stays abroad, while also documenting how to do research (both ethnographic and archival) in or on rural Mexico, the international migration of indigenous people from rural Mexico to urban centers in the United States, and relationships between anthropologist and other researchers, friends, and family members.
