To Whom It May Concern,
Please consider this request for permission to use chapter summaries and electronic reproductions of original photographs from the book Aztecs, Moors, and Christians: Festivals of Reconquest in Spain and Mexico by Max Harris which will soon be published by University of Texas Press.
We have received the author’s permission to put the chapter summaries and photographs on web pages as part of the "Performance in History" project of the American Society for Theatre Research. The chapter summaries do not appear in the book. The photographs are color shots that Mr. Harris took himself dated in the 1980s and 1990s. We will reference his forthcoming book on each webpage and place a copyright statement in his name with each image. The chapter summaries and pictures will also have the following caption: "Courtesy of University of Texas Press." The list of photographs is included on a separate page.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
