U.S. Latino Literature is defined as Latino literature within the
United States that embraces the heterogeneous inter-groupings of
Latinos. For too long U.S. Latino literature has not been thought
of as an integral part of the overall shared American literary
landscape, but that is slowly changing. This dictionary aims to
rectify some of those misconceptions by proving that Latinos do
fundamentally express American issues, concerns and perspectives
with a flair in linguistic cadences, familial themes, distinct
world views, and cross-cultural voices. The Historical Dictionary
of U.S. Latino Literature contains a chronology, an introduction,
and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has
cross-referenced entries on U.S. Latino/a authors, and terms
relevant to the nature of U.S. Latino literature in order to
illustrate and corroborate its foundational bearings within the
overall American literary experience. This book is an excellent
access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know
more about this subject.
The Routledge Handbook of Chicana/o Studies is a unique
interdisciplinary resource for students, libraries, and researchers
interested in the largest and most rapidly growing racial-ethnic
community in the United States and elsewhere which can either be
identified as Chicano, Latino, Hispanic, or Mexican-American.
Structured around seven comprehensive themes, the volume is for
students of American studies, the Social Sciences, and the
Humanities. The volume is organized around seven critical domains
in Chicana/o Studies: Chicana/o History and Social Movements
Borderlands, Global Migrations, Employment, and Citizenship
Cultural Production in Global and Local Settings Chicana/o
Identities Schooling, Language, and Literacy Violence, Resistance,
and Empowerment International Perspectives The Handbook will stress
the importance of the historical origins of the Chicana/o Studies
field. Starting from myth of origins, Aztlan, alleged cradle of the
Chicana/o people lately substantiated by the findings of
archaeology and anthropology, over Spanish/Indigenous relations
until the present time. Essays will explore cultural and linguistic
hybridism and showcase artistic practices (visual arts, music, and
dance) through popular (folklore) or high culture achievements
(museums, installations) highlighting the growth of a critical
perspective grounded on key theoretical formulations including
borderlands theories, intersectionalities, critical race theory,
and cultural analysis.

Alejandro Morales is a pioneer of Chicana and Chicano literature
and the author of groundbreaking works including The Brick People,
The Rag Doll Plagues, and River of Angels. His work, often
experimental, was one of the first to depict harsh urban realities
in the barrios--a break from much of the Chicana and Chicano
fiction that had been published previously. Morales' relentless
work has grown over the decades into a veritable menagerie of
cultural testimonies, fantastic counter-histories, magical realism,
challenging meta-narratives, and flesh-and-blood aesthetic
innovation. The fourteen essays included in this compendium examine
Morales' novels and short stories. The editors also include a
critical introduction; an interview between Morales, the editors,
and fellow author Daniel Olivas; and a new comprehensive
bibliography of Morales' writings and works about him--books,
articles, book reviews, online resources, and dissertations. A
Critical Collection on Alejandro Morales: Forging an Alternative
Chicano Fiction is a must-read for understanding and appreciating
Morales' work in particular and Chicana and Chicano literature in
general.
During the Chicano Movement in the 1960s and 1970s, the idea of
Aztlan, homeland of the ancient Aztecs, served as a unifying force
in an emerging cultural renaissance. Does the term remain useful?
This expanded new edition of the classic 1989 collection of essays
about Aztlan weighs its value. To encompass new developments in the
discourse the editors have added six new essays.
Miguel de Quintana was among those arriving in New Mexico with
Diego de Vargas in 1694. He was active in his village of Santa Cruz
de la Canada, where he was a notary and secretary to the alcalde
mayor, functioning as a quasi-attorney. Being unusually literate,
he also wrote personal poetry for himself and religious plays for
his community. His conflicted life with local authorities began in
1734 when he was accused of being a heretic. What unfolded was a
personal drama of intrigue before the colonial Inquisition. In this
fascinating volume Lomeli and Colahan reveal Quintana's writings
from deep within Inquisition archives and provide a translation of
and critical look at Quintana's poetry and religious plays.
Eusebio Chacon, born in Pe-asco, New Mexico, is arguably one of the
most significant and most overlooked figures in New Mexico's
cultural heritage. He earned a law degree from Notre Dame and
returned to practice law in Trinidad, Colorado. He served as a
district attorney for Las Animas County, Colorado, and as a
translator for the U.S. Court of Private Land Claims. In 1898, he
began to write and edit for El Progreso, in which many of his
articles exposed the unjust treatment of Hispanics in Colorado and
New Mexico. He was also New Mexico's first novelist, and took pride
in his pioneering efforts to establish a Nuevomexicano literary
tradition. This collection of Chacon's writings brings together all
published and written materials found, displaying his versatility
with samples of his work as an accomplished orator, translator,
essayist, historian, novelist, and poet.
