With a Romeo and Juliet framework, McCall portrays the injustices suffered by Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants at the hands of vigilante Texas Rangers during the Mexican Revolution. Incorporation of historical documents and references adds depth to a worthy tale about a rarely explored moment in history. Reading list. Glos.
