 | | The life of Benito Ju rez; the Mexican battle for freedom; the country's government today; the celebration itself; and Mexican music, dance, and food are all given brief coverage in jerky, disconnected prose that, while it does not misinform, is surely no pleasure to read. |
 | | Celebrations of Cinco de Mayo are becoming increasingly common in the U.S. Gnojewski explains the history behind the fiesta, telling about the battle on May 5, 1862, in which the Mexican army and residents of the city of Puebla fought the French army. |
 | | After outlining the history and introducing Mexican heroes such as Benito Juarez, she takes a look at some of the traditional elements of a Cinco de Mayo celebration--food, music, and dance. |
