She was Luz Jiménez,
child of the flower-song people,
the powerful Aztec,
who called themselves Nahua—
who lost their land but who did not disappear.

As a young Nahua girl in Mexico during the early 1900s, Luz learned how to grind corn in a metate, to twist yarn with her toes, and to weave on a loom. By the fire at night, she listened to stories of her community's joys, suffering, and survival, and wove them into her heart.
But when the Mexican Revolution came to her village, Luz and her family were forced to flee and start a new life. In Mexico City, Luz became a model for painters, sculptors, and photographers such as Diego Rivera, Jean Charlot, and Tina Modotti. These artists were interested in showing the true face of Mexico and not a European version. Through her work, Luz found a way to preserve her people's culture by sharing her native language, stories, and traditions. Soon, scholars came to learn from her.
This moving, beautifully illustrated biography tells the remarkable story of how model and teacher Luz Jiménez became "the soul of Mexico"—a living link between the indigenous Nahua and the rest of the world. Through her deep pride in her roots and her unshakeable spirit, the world came to recognize the beauty and strength of her people.
The book includes an author's note, timeline, glossary, and bibliography.]]>https://fennville.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C6080753https://fennville.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C6080753Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMThttps://fennville.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6080753980EBOOKLuz Jiménez, Daughter of the Nahuaenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781683357384/MC.GIF&client=lakep&type=xw12&oclc=https://fennville.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C2821969https://fennville.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C2821969Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMThttps://fennville.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2821969147BKUn Artista Del Sonido De La Era Espacialenghttps://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781580897334/MC.GIF&client=lakep&type=xw12&oclc=
