Meksikanac

The story tells the revolutionary adventures of a strange character who must box to help the anti-Porfirista cause. The psychological portrait of him and the density that follows, when it comes to narrating the fight with a fierce American, create a very peculiar atmosphere that breaks with the usual scheme. Rivera fights only with the purpose of buying weapons for the revolutionary struggle and for this he literally risks his life. London, inspired by the life of Joe Rivers, the pseudonym of a revolutionary who helped the Mexican Revolutionary Junta in exile, captured very well the feelings of many Mexicans of the time who were willing to give their all to contribute to the advancement of the contesting forces.
