The article discusses about the book "Idols Behind Altars," by Anita Brenner. Mexico for the four hundred years succeeding the Spanish Conquest lacked a civilization that could be defined as national. Immediately after the great social revolutionary period of 1910 to 1921, intellectuals, artists, politicians, and statesmen sought desperately to make the people race-conscious by providing them with controls for social and material culture indigenous to the country, in place of the former temporizations with a west-European culture complex.
