In 'Who Would Have Thought It: My Story of the American Civil War,' María Ruiz de Burton tells the story of how the Civil War impacts the lives of a young Mexican girl and her family living in America. Written in a unique literary style that combines social commentary with elements of satire and humor, the book provides a captivating insight into the racial and social dynamics of the time. The narrative is also enriched by Ruiz de Burton's use of Spanish phrases and cultural references, adding depth to the characters and setting. The novel is significant for its portrayal of the Mexican-American experience during this tumultuous period in American history. María Ruiz de Burton, as one of the first Mexican-American authors to write in English, brings a fresh perspective to the literature of the American Civil War. Drawing from her own experiences as a Mexican immigrant living in California, she sheds light on the complexities of identity and belonging. Her background as a member of the Mexican elite gives her a unique lens through which to examine the socio-political issues of the time. I highly recommend 'Who Would Have Thought It: My Story of the American Civil War' to readers interested in exploring the intersection of race, culture, and history. Ruiz de Burton's novel offers a thought-provoking and engaging narrative that continues to resonate with contemporary discussions on diversity and inclusion.
