Quotes taken from the INTRODUCTION to
INNOCENCE ABROAD: The Girls of Coatepec:
"
In the family dynamic here the girl does not win a lot of press. That’s reserved for the male of the species, the father, eldest son and his brothers. The mother, the anchor around which the family boat pivots in high seas and low, has gained recognition only recently as politicians find voter appeal in paying mostly perfunctory tribute to issues that effect her.
As an artist he finds her more liberated than the boy here or, to some degree, anywhere else; she’s more open, in general, to revealing a character uncorrupted by the socially driven posture the boy must undertake, again, here or anywhere.
She is unabashedly honest, without yet having the skills to be so diplomatically. Her humor and giggles are irrepressible. She occupies a fragile, if delightful, hold on reality."
Windsor Joe Innis - "Morada"
