Mexico: Rich versus Poor

Throughout Mexico’s history, there have been small villages in the countryside. For generations families have lived and worked on the farms that surrounded these villages. The families who worked the land did not own any part of the farms. This meant that they did not make very much money, because they are paid low wages to work for the landowners. In fact more than 70 percent of Mexico’s population in the 1920s was extremely poor. Look at the pictures below. The three pictures are all from 1920s Mexico.

• What is being shown in these pictures?
• Compare and Contrast what is shown in these pictures to what we've read about in Esperanza Rising.
