  3. Enrique Chagoya, detail of codex  The Misadventures of the Romantic Cannibals 2003 Enrique Chagoya makes codex, manuscripts that immitate the books made by the pre-contact Maya and Aztec, almost all of which were burned, although a few were shipped to Spain as curiosities.

  4. CODEX ESPANGLIENSIS is a collaboration between Guillermo Gómez-Peña, writer/activist, Enrique Chagoya, artist/printmaker, and Felicia Rice, bookmaker/printer.

  5. CODEX ESPANGLIENSIS Text In this single spread, a type-metal cut by Posada depicts a priest pointing toward the heavens while frightened parishioners gape or turn away in horror. Rather than the metaphysical wrath of the divine, hovering above is some kind of rocket or missile drawn in the style found in recent science fiction comic books. Chagoya’s substitution suggests that real danger lies in a military or technological assault on the lives and liberty of an unsuspecting and innocent population. In the center of the spread an image of Christ praying surrounded by howling coyotes or wolves symbolizes, perhaps, a kind of cultural entrapment or the sufferings encountered in border crossing (coyote is the name given those who are paid to help others to cross the US-Mexican border).
