Manual del Editor con Huaraches (Manual for the Editor with Sandals) were the guideline title for the the mimeography and editing seminars taught by Felipe Ehrenberg, together with Marcos Límenes, Santiago Rebolledo and Ernesto Molina (these last two members of the Suma group), during the 1980's in Rural Schools in Mexico, (part of a pilot program of the National Education Ministry (SEP)), during the hangover of the dirty war. The seminars were framed in the displacement of various artists towards collective practices in tension with the political persecution in the country and were carried out in the field of rural education, which the state has tried to quell since the sixties. This book tries to place and share the tools of the manual, which point to a model of collective organization that has the political imagination in its center and whose power persists now that labor exploitation has subsumed daily life by fragmenting it into a horizon of experience impoverished against which we need to imagine other routes and other ways of building them. Its review recovers the mimeographic practice of a generation whose reverberation continues today. "Una primera versión de este texto sr publicó en noviembre de 2016 como ensayo académico"--Last page.
