This second volume of Illustrious Words covers the period extending from Diego Rivera's return to Mexico in June 1921 to his death in 1957.

Mexican photographer Mauricio Palos (born 1981) is no stranger to the whims and prejudices of immigration officials: "I was deported from London the first time I attempted to enter the United Kingdom," he records in My Perro Rano; "I was refused entry because they suspected I was going there to work." Here, Palos photographs the desperate hinterland that is the U.S.-Mexico border.

In addition to its direct translation meaning "little light," the title "Poca Luz" alludes to a phrase used in Mexican popular speech to express indignation or admiration. In his photographs, Belgian artist and writer Ivan Alechine (born 1952) uses the disappearance of Mexico's indigenous lifestyle to investigate the interrelation of ecological damage and the decreasing value placed on practical thinking.

The book is the result of an intense debate carried on among photographers, publishers, scholars, and other professionals in the field about the needs and problems of the photographic milieu. This highly original initiative gathers the work of twenty collectives from Europe and Latin America around a common theme: the environment. The following collectives are represented in the book: Blank Paper, Ruido Photo, NOPHOTO, and Pandora (Spain), Cia de Photo and Garapa (Brazil), Supayfotos and Versus Photo (Peru), SUB [cooperativa de fotografos] (Argentina), Monda Photo (Mexico), ONG (Venezuela), Transit, Odessa, and Tendance Floue (France), Ostkreuz (Germany), Documentography (United Kingdom), TerraProject (Italy), Kameraphoto (Portugal), and EST&OST (several countries). The result is a meticulously produced, visually striking publication that presents the work of all these collectives through a selection of their best photographs.

In the words of Mercedes Halfón, this book of photographs by Guadalupe Gaona traces the "slow process of the dismantling of an aristocratic mansion in Buenos Aires. This is the event chosen to be photographed. A lapse of time moving from full to empty, in which a dwelling loses its household attributes and ceases to be inhabitable, to be transformed into a desolate space." The result is a visual narrative-without written texts-that explores new territory in the context of Latin American photography. Quieta was the winner of the first RM Latin American Photobook Competition in 2010, selected by a jury composed of Horacio Fernández, Graciela Iturbide, Martin Parr, Lesley Martin, Álvaro Sotillo, Diran Sirinian, Ramón Reverté, Alexis Fabry, and Juan Pablo Quiroz.
