I read this several years ago while traveling in Oaxaca and Chiapas. Purchased again for a reread.Just as relevant today as it was in the mid 80's. Gives you a new mindset, not every Mexican is longing to move to the U.S.
The people I met were lovely, welcoming and
happy. They had so little and were honored to share what they had with you. Of course this was the small Indian. villages in the southern mountains and Pacific coast. The Big City is just like anyplace else. The Mexican Indians are looked down upon .by the Mexicans of Spanish descent. I saw it for myself. Lived in Southern
Mexico for 2 years. I can say though I am not of Spanish descent and was very happy to cross the Border and be back to my home in the USA. Read it and get some insight into our Distant Neighbor.
