- Annotation
- Historically and culturally contextualizes the story s fractured Mexican community to illuminate Hemingway s thematic treatment of the isolating effects of racism, poverty, and violence on the lives of migrant workers in the 1930s American West. Driscoll explores the healing power of music to bring about Mexican solidarity through the subversion of authority and reads Cayetano as a Hemingway hero. Recommends ways of using critical race theory to familiarize students with migrant struggles of the 1930s and today, including immigration policies and the rise of political organizations.
