Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 'castes' of Latin America are a very specific but hitherto little-mentioned aspect of Mexican painting. The related collection of paintings in this volume shows castes born mainly in Mexico, normally the outcome of crosses among Whites, Indians, Blacks, and Orientals. It comprises an impressive disclosure of this genre of painting as it is known to date. The volume is a first-rate contribution to our understanding of a particular chapter in Mexican painting hitherto largely neglected by the general public. Further, as discussed later, it provides valuable information about the social history of Mexico in the eighteenth century." -- first paragraph of Foreword.
