********************************************

El Profesor y "Oaxacologo" Michael Kearney

.

The anthropologist and "oaxacologo" Michael Kearney passed away last
night, November 12th, 2009. Michael had been fighting pancreatic cancer
for almost a year. Michael Kearney and his wife Carole Nagengast were
the first anthropologist to document the migration and formation of
indigenous Oaxacan transnational communities. Indeed, the idea and
concept of a "transnational community" was first conceived by Michael
and his wife Carole while working with Mixtec Indians from San Jeronimo
Progreso, Oaxaca in the U.S. Michael spent his entire life working with
the aboriginal peoples of Oaxaca and brought attention to their
hardships and realities in the 21st Century.

Michael trabajo toda su vida a iluminar la realidades y luchas de los
pueblos indigenas de Oaxaca en Mexico y E.E.U.U. Fue el primer
antropologo en la epoca moderna que documento la vida transnational de
los Mixtecos de Oaxaca.

Michael will truly be missed.

>From all of his Paisanos Mixtecos-

Shabindohó-Da'Vindohó Ñañi Lele.
