Winner of the 8th Annual Premio Aztlán Chicano Literary Award for Outstanding Bio-Bibliography "This beautiful and useful reference book belongs on every reference book shelf, both in libraries and at home." -Teresa Márquez, University of New Mexico

The first of its kind, A Sense of Place comprehensively chronicles the writings by and about the world's most celebrated Chicano author, Rudolfo A. Anaya. Anaya is Professor Emeritus at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where he taught Chicano literature and creative writing. Acknowledged as the father of Chicano literature in English, he is one of the first Chicano writers to be awarded the Premio Quinto Sol National Chicano Literary Award.

He is also the recipient of numerous other state, national, and international awards. Best known for his novel Bless Me, Ultima, a classic of contemporary literature, he has also written other well- received novels, short stories, essays, non-fiction, plays, and children's books. His work continues to shape the ever-evolving voice of Chicano literature and culture.

 

This 324-page book offers readers over 1100 fully annotated citations referencing books, as well as journal, newspaper, magazine articles, and other materials spanning a twenty-five year period from 1972 to 1997. Also included are extensive title indexes, maps of Anaya country, a chronology of Anaya's life, and a lengthy essay on Anaya written by one of the country's foremost Anaya scholars, César A. González-T. Scholars will be thrilled to discover this unique and notable contribution to the field of Chicano literature. A Sense of Place is a must for all Chicano reference collections.

Gonzales/Rodriguez: Uncut and Uncensored

by Patrisia Gonzales and Roberto Rodriguez

The first compilation of the bold and articulate insights of the only Chicano husband and wife team of newspaper columnists, this book is a chronicle of the Chicano/Latino experience in the 1990s. Against the backdrop of an America that is only beginning to pay attention to the voices and yearnings of a minority group that will not go away, Patrisia Gonzales and Roberto Rodrguez write a weekly column, giving their own views of the issues of the day. Sometimes their vision is considered too radical and few newspaper editors will carry their column. At times an editor may decide to cut the length of the column. In any case, their voice, often poignant, often outraged,sometimes humorous, but always powerful, has been muffled far too often.

Whether exposing governmental abuses of the census or congressional bills designed to take away the rights of immigrants or showing us how Latino actors are trapped in Hollywood stereotypes, Gonzales and Rodrguez never pull any punches. Nor do they report anything that they have not completely researched and verified.

GONZALES/RODRIGUEZ: UNCUT AND UNCENSORED contains fifty-two columns as the authors intended them to be read. They are excellent for classroom use.

ISBN: 0-918520-22-3

Alcohol-Related Issues in the Latino Population, 1980-1990: An Annotated Bibliography

M. Jean Gilbert, Beatriz Solis, and Juana Mora

This resource contains 247 bibliographic citations about Latino alcohol use, each with a descriptive abstract. It provides invaluable information for researchers, policymakers and community service providers. Prior to 1980, little was known about alcohol use among Latinos living in the U.S.

In the decade between 1980 and 1990, however, research and information on the subject expanded significantly. In this book, the authors organize the citations into two broad categories of "Adult" and "Youth," which are further divided into such topics as "Cultural Issues," "Epidemiology," "Social and Medical Indicators," "Prevention," and "Treatment." Separate title and author indexes increase accessibility.

Bibliography of Criticism of Contemporary Chicano Literature

Ernestina N. Eger

"Here is an erudite bibliographic landmark of paramount importance for libraries, researchers, and students of the field." Reference Quarterly

This bibliography includes 2,181 references to criticism of the creative genres--novel, short story, poetry, theater, and autobiography. In compiling this bibliography, Tina Eger sought to make an exhaustive rather than selective list: her many years of scanning journals and newspapers, searching various existing reference tools, and initiating correspondence with some 300 writers and critics culminated in this volume which was the first of its kind and is still the most comprehensive. Separate author and title indexes.

Darkness Under the Trees

Luis Omar Salinas

"His style is powerfully individual, but it dips into the deep well of Chicano heritage...In this collection his heartfelt delivery and imagination are fashioned to their finest tuning." Northwest Review

This volume is really two poetry collections under one cover. The first part concerns those moments when it is difficult, almost impossible to continue after witnessing the world's dark edges. The second is a visionary link, and perhaps homage to the poets of the Spanish Civil War, whose sensibilities the author shares in style and in sense of world community. Together they play off one another and affirm Salinas' deep appreciation of life and his empathy for the ungenerous portions of fate.
