Listeros,
	One of my indigenous students, Manuel de la Cruz, is studying 
Psychology here in Zacatecas. He has experienced first hand the 
problems faced by indigenous students who leave their villages 
(northern Veracruz) for the first time, travel to a primarily mestizo 
region (Zacatecas) and do their high school and university studies. He 
would like to do his senior thesis on learning strategies specific to 
the Nahua culture, in order to educate mestizo teachers and help 
indigenous students make the transition to the mestizo university 
environment. Obviously, he will rely heavily on his own experience, as 
well as that of his fellow students, but he would like to know if 
anyone on the list can recommend some relevant bibliography.
