La comida rápida y la destrucción de la generación futura
No full textThe essay “La Injusta Asimilación de Kahlo” briefly overviews and analyzes the artwork Autorretrato en la frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos. This piece serves as a visual representation of the conflict between Kahlo\u27s Mexican heritage and the influence of the United States on her identity.
