He shows how it had influenced life of the Latino’s and how it meant for this people. The author uncovers major themes in this work and the first theme is that of religion and its role in the society.
Spaniards wrote the existing literature, and there lacked a literature with focus on the perspective of the native Mexicans and how they felt about the invasion of the Spaniards into their ancestral land. The purpose of this book is to bring out the story of the Mexican people before the invasion by the Spaniards. The questions about the book are discussed as well as a personal opinion.
The first part is a review of the song of the Humming bird in terms of reasons why the author wrote that book.
