The village of San José de Gracia is not mentioned in any history
of Mexico, nor is it referred to in any of the annals of the state
of Michoacá n. It is not to be found at all on most maps, and
almost none show its correct location. It is an unknown point in
space, in time, and in the consciousness of the Mexican republic.
In Luis Gonzá lez's classic history of the world of San José ,
he turns his attention in every direction: toward what is lasting
and what is ephemeral, everyday and unusual, material and
spiritual. The story is, to some extent, the story of rural life
anywhere, in any age; to some extent it is peculiar to the world of
the peasant all through Mexico's history; and to some extent it can
be said to be true only of San José .
The history of San José is also the history of the village as
victim of the megalopolis, not only in Mexico but everywhere in our
time. With the small community will be lost traditions and a sense
of continuity that may prove irreplaceable and essential to human
wellbeing. While Luis Gonzá lez does not suggest that he knows what
the fate of San José will be, one feels that he knows all too well,
and that his questions are only "How?" and "How soon?"
