Publisher's Synopsis
ALL EYES ON OAXACA: With the recent popularity of Alfonso Cuarón's award-winning film Roma, the indigenous culture of Oaxaca, Mexico, is receiving worldwide attention, as is the indigenous Oaxacan actress Yalitza Aparicio. Tourists are traveling in droves to Oaxaca to discover the rich and diverse culture it has to offer. INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE ON THE RISE: Lost in Oaxaca is a love story between a white woman and an indigenous Mexican man. In 2010, 38% of all interracial marriages in the US were between a white person and a Hispanic person. IMMIGRATION IS A HOT-BUTTON ISSUE: More than 11 million undocumented immigrants currently live in the United States of America, of which more than half a million are DACA recipients. Lost in Oaxaca emphasizes that every immigrant is a human being with his or her own story. CLASSICAL MUSIC REMAINS RELEVANT: Eight out of ten people listen to classical music, and 25% of the US population plays the piano.
