That is why in this book I try to make it evident how each Mexican paints her as best as they can, as they need her or with the only purpose of having her present during their daily street walking."

Este libro busca generar reflexiones en torno a la producción,el manejo y la recepción de la imagen en la actualidad.Para ello,los autores formulan inquietudes en torno a lo visual a través de tres categorías:el productor,el medio en la imagen y el receptor.
