This title marks the rescue from oblivion of a daring and provocative work by a major 20th century writer. This is West's exploration of Mexican history, religion and culture.

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.

Bernard Schweizer is assistant professor of English at Long Island University (Brooklyn). He is the author of Radicals on the Road: The Politics of British Travel Writing in the 1930s and Rebecca West: Heroism, Rebellion, and the Female Epic.
