Description

Vol. IV No. 8 … The Cover: These are the peasant people of Mexico, who now as always, comprise the vast majority of the country’s population. In the veins of many of these folk flows the blood of the proud Indian tribes which once ruled Mexico. Though the conquistador oppressors may have plundered them of the outward symbols of that reign and left them nothing save ruined cities and desolated temples, there remains a fierce and undying love for liberty and independence. Gentries of unrequited toil have reduced them to an often meager subsistence for their largely undeveloped back country and primitive agriculture yields but a scant harvest. Yet these peasant folk cling with passionate devotion to the land that is theirs and has belonged to numberless generations of their people.
