regional authorsaparticularly those of Texas and the Southwestaand
includes readings representative of a broad array of American
social and ethnic groups from first contact to early
twentieth-century Modernism. Tracing the diverse heritages and
global impulses that shaped America, this reader engages
undergraduate students by offering a unique collection of texts
that comprise American literary cultures. The selections showcase a
culturally rich and heterogeneous traditionaindigenous, Latino,
European, and African. The narratives and counternarratives offered
here introduce students to a diversity of voicesanear and far,
familiar and foreign, present and historical. Through ballads,
lyrical poems, tall tales, short stories, speeches, sermons,
memoirs, and discourses on language and literature, students
encounter diverse and often challenging works of American literary
culture. The texts within and the vast panoply of worldviews and
personalities they reflect challenge students to critical,
contextual, creative, and empathetic engagement with the past.
Through such engagement, students will better appreciate the
present as they prepare to become citizens of an increasingly
globalized world.
