"Angels Over Me" portrays the story of Danielito, a Dominican boy, who was brought to New York by his mother at age 15 firmly believing that he would flourish in the academic arena in the U.S. Sadly, in a series of unforeseen events, Danielito's thirst for learning quickly vanishes and is replaced by an irresistible force of becoming part of the street life. He joins a gang and, before long, he is caught up in a world of gambling, alcohol, and drugs. He spends 17 years of his life in this ambiance until a devastating personal loss brings him back to his roots and awakens the long dormant desire of learning and doing the right thing in life. Even then, Danielito continues to be torn between the street world and the intellectual realm.

The main message described in the following pages is the conscious, intentional political project by Mexican government and tourism officials to promote an ideology of cultural citizenship that encompasses the notion of a clean and tidy citizen as a good host for tourists that visit Isla de Mujeres a small island located in the Mexican Caribbean. The promotion of cleanliness at the national, regional, and local levels by Mexican government officials and agencies translates into marketing campaigns such as signs and murals designed for Isleos eyes only. What is underlined in the commentary of Isleos is the racialization of cleanliness based on an ideology of a biological lineage having to do with a purity of blood or limpieza de sangre -cleanliness of blood- brought to New Spain/Mexico by Spanish conquistadores. The promotion of cleanliness at the national, regional, and local levels by Mexican government officials and agencies translates into marketing campaigns such as television and radio commercials, signs, murals, school curriculum, and extracurricular activities such as community organizations geared toward children.
