Rebozos
Tafolla, Carmen / Manzanedo, Hector Garcia / Gárate García, Catalina
Celebrating both the rebozo as a cultural icon of Mexico and the series of rebozo-inspired paintings by Mexican-Californian artist Catalina Gárate, this bilingual collection of poems gives voices of strength, endurance, joy, and sorrow to the women of Gárate's paintings. Inspired by each painting, these poems, in both Spanish and English, are accompanied by a historical explanation of the role of the rebozo in Mexican history, art, and culture.
