Cultural Writing. Biography. Art History. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Dick Gerdes. In this English translation of the colorful recreation of the childhood and early adulthood of Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, his daughter Guadalupe Rivera Marin explores the ideological and artistic development of a revolutionary painter.

I was SO disappointed by this book--it had all of the possibilties of being wonderful but I quit reading after 100 pages--I'm not sure if it was poor writing or poor translation or lack of editing that is the problem...at any rate the content was there but the way it was presented was terribly uneven...ranging from strictly almost Victorian style English to very modern, slangy conversation..."Hey, what's happening bro" between 9 year old Diego and his friends.
