| Summary | "In Indian Mexico" by Frederick Starr is a narrative of travel and labor written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a travelogue, chronicling the author's explorations and anthropological studies among the indigenous peoples of southern Mexico. The book delves into the lives, customs, and physical types of the Indian tribes, distinguishing the rich ethnographic diversity in a region that is less documented compared to Northern Mexico. The opening of the narrative illustrates Frederick Starr's motivations and preparations for his expeditions among the Mexican Indians, particularly emphasizing his scientific approach to studying the physical characteristics of diverse tribes. He outlines the logistical challenges he faced in establishing friendly relations with the cautious local populations and how government assistance facilitated his efforts. The beginning also highlights his interaction with a priestly archaeologist on the train, setting the stage for the rich revelations and encounters he will experience as he ventures deeper into the Mexican landscape and its indigenous cultures throughout the narrative.
