Graciela Iturbide notes a disconnect that exists between Chicano culture and Mexican history. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, she recalls the moment she captured this photograph: “For me, it was very interesting because they have a nostalgia about Mexico that isn’t always based in fact. A group of them told me, ‘We want you to photograph us by the mural of the mariachis.’ And it was a mural of Mexico’s historical heroes: Benito Juárez and Pancho Villa [and Emiliano Zapata]. They can be really mistaken about Mexico, but they still have a profound nostalgia for it.”
