Survivors in Mexico by Rebecca West
West's narrative takes on all of Mexican history, from the conquest by Spain and the Mexican Revolution, to the muralist movement, and explores the inner lives of such figures as Cortes, Montezuma, the Reclus brothers, Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, Dr. Atl and Leon Trotsky. Highlighting contradictions and paradoxes in the personal and public spheres, she offers insights into Mexican art and culture as well as human culture and destiny.
"West portrays an intricate ancient culture with compelling authority and dazzling witHer luminous, heretofore unpublished, meditation on Mexico - its landscape, its history, its politics - is a gift from the twentieth century to the twenty-first, a magical masterpiece." Sandra M. Gilbert, coauthor of Madwoman in the Attic and No Man's Land
