"Amoxohtli/Libro de Carretera/A Road Book... came together from a project the artist Jimmie Durham developed in Mexico City. Durham describes the book as a 'road book' after, he says, Homer's Odyssey, Cervantes's Don Quixote, and Kerouac's On the Road. It begins with the French founding of Detroit and moves quickly past the race-riots there in the 20th century to a brief history of the U.S. automobile industry. That brings the 'story' into Mexico and the uses various Mexican governmental agencies have employed for the Chrysler-Dodge company cars. The first language of the book is Nahuatl, The language of the Aztecs. Spanish is next, with English, As Durham originally wrote it, almost as a footnote in the back." -- from the UNC library catalog entry, text provided by Syndetic Solutions, Inc. (accessed 12/11/2013)
