In "Cinco de Mayo: Yesterday and Today," Rebeca Orozco explores the historical significance and cultural impact of the Cinco de Mayo celebration. The book delves into the origins of the holiday, tracing its roots back to the Battle of Puebla in 1862 when the Mexican army achieved a surprising victory over French forces. Orozco examines how this event has evolved from a regional commemoration into a larger celebration of Mexican heritage in the United States and beyond. Through engaging storytelling and vibrant imagery, the author highlights the importance of community, tradition, and identity in shaping the modern observance of Cinco de Mayo.
