This book paints the story of a Western artist's discovery of authentic Mexico, encapsulating a journey away from narrow observations of the country's stereotypes- black and white films, cactus', cartels, and the jumping bean- towards a greater understanding of its significance in the social and geopolitical landscape. From the emergence of Mexican muralism in the immediate wake of the country's early 20th-century revolution to traditional customs that have survived and flourished amidst the country's progress. Rooney draws his inspiration from a myriad of spaces and places, permanently recording their significance in a book that can only be described as having a touch of eternal Mexico.
