Cantos de mujeres mayas (2010), published by Taller Leñateros in Chiapas, Mexico; using theoretical and methodological concepts of cultural studies (García Canclini, Baudrillard, Bourdieu, Benjamin, Deleuze and Guattari, among others) and Latin American indigenous literary studies (Arturo Arias, Luis Cárcamo-Huechante and Emilio del Valle Escalante, among others) . The privatization of the Latin American publishing field during the infamous decade at the end of the 20th century engendered an explosion of alternative projects from the margins of the publishing industry that sought a more direct relationship between authors, publishers and readers; This is how cardboard publishers emerge, whose books are usually made with reused cardboard. To understand the development of the cardboard publishing phenomenon, four stages were identified: precursory (1930-2002), oral (2003-2007), mediatic (2008-2009) and institutional (2010 onwards); as well as three axes: literary, communitary and plastic. The cultural hybridizations of the phenomenon have allowed the pluricanonic publication of consecrated, rescued, emerging and/or novel authors; as well as diverse community experiences in Latin America.
