Jacket is worn, chips, small tears, small missing pieces, spine is sun faded and browned. Now in clear cover. "The interpretation of one race to another is a necessary task for the writer of today. This book cuts through the plaster facade of Mexico and shows you a living people. Ofelia Escoto was a little girl whom the author met when she went apartment-hunting in Mexico, and who became her maid. Ofelia's father was a night-watchman with a family of thirteen to support; and for many months the author shared the life of the Escotos, and sympathized with them in their misfortunes. But the book is more than the story of the Escotos. It tells also of visits to the parched, poverty-stricken country of the Otomi Indians, where the author went to conduct 'los intelligence tests,' of the picturesque dances and rituals of a wedding in tropical Tehuantepec, of the hazards of traveling in a bus along the Laredo Highway, of the wisdom of the Mexican judges in handling the homeless children of the Revolution, and of the vagaries of Mexican officials who tried to deport the author on the ground that she was a Polish refugee."
