ORTIZ GASCA, Marilyn Adriana. Under the cover of a sarape: colors and international conciliations through folk art. Intervención (Méx. DF) [online]. 2014, vol.5, n.9, pp.26-33. ISSN 2007-249X.

Textiles, as any other cultural artifact, weave history and creativity. This paper records the history of a sarape form Saltillo, that has hitherto kept the secrets of its singularity, not only related to its manufacture technique and design, but, particularly to a political, social and diplomatic dimension: it was witness to the cultural conciliation between Mexico and the United States of America during the 1930´s. Like the warp and woof in this textile, the approach of these two nations interwined of ideas and acts; one of them was that of Dwight and Elizabeth Morrow in acquiring this textile featuring unusual values.
