Unveiling Mexico, at first, I did not know how to imagine the terrain of Mexico, but after reading some of the stories, it describes the desert very well. Finally some reliable information about Indigenous resistance! I am finally learning of the Chilpancingo, Guerrero Mexico, and the dignity, and the stories of the indigenous and all Mexicans. It says on page 41, of the descriptive narratives and the feelings they convey. There’s some sort of healing happening here, and a battle won, of some kind. The indigenous are coming together to celebrate their lives, and describing it as having “hope in our chests”, and “so in our heart there was no longer just pain and shame. “our hands searched for liberty and justice, and so we rose to walk again.” I quoted these sentences from page 41, because there’s a bit of strength here, some sadness, but hope for a better future. Oh I see now that this is apart of the Zapatista movement, and so forth, and so on. The book also from pages 56-57 can serve as directions to places, and do’s, and don’t’s in middle Mexico, which is extremely interesting if your traveling there, you can take this book with you, and it would be very real to read I’m sure. As it describes how to get to Quintana roo, Baja California, Sonora, Sinaloa, and Nayarit. It’s nice that I have memories of traveling to Sinaloa but I would never go back to the same place twice, as Mexico is rather large. I would definitely go to a different place every time, or at least try to. I would love to see Cabo, and explore Cancun. I’m sure every place in Mexico has something to offer, even if some places seem more barren than others. It’s true what the book is saying about the living conditions, and it gives very realistic images that are believable, but I’ve personally traveled to Mexico and so I know what these conditions look like, but It’s actually quite interesting to see it described in a book. Also mentioning the high rates of marginalization in societies and low wages. It is true when they say lower Mexico is more seemingly dangerous.
