Book Description
For more than a century, Mexican American journalists used their presses to voice socio-historical concerns and to represent themselves as a determinant group of communities in Nuevo MŽxico, a particularly resilient corner of the Chicano homeland. This book draws on exhaustive archival research to review the history of newspapers in these communities from the arrival of the first press in the region to publication of the last edition of Santa FeÕs El Nuevo Mexicano. Gabriel MelŽndez details the education and formation of a generation of Spanish-language journalists who were instrumental in creating a culture of print in nativo communities. He then offers in-depth cultural and literary analyses of the texts produced by los periodiqueros, establishing them thematically as precursors of the Chicano literary and political movements of the 1960s and Õ70s. Moving beyond a simple effort to reinscribe Nuevomexicanos into history, MelŽndez views these newspapers as cultural productions and the work of the editors as an organized movement against cultural erasure amid the massive influx of easterners to the Southwest. Readers will find a wealth of information in this book. But more important, they will come away with the sense that the survival of Nuevomexicanos as a culturally and politically viable group is owed to the labor of this brilliant generation of newspapermen who also were statesmen, scholars, and creative writers.

Book Description
This book, continuously in print since 1983, has become a classic Spanish reference book, widely used in classrooms across the United States. Linguist and folklorist Rubén Cobos, now in his nineties, has been diligently working on revisions for the past decade. Much expanded—the number of pages has increased by seventy—this revised edition will assume its place as the most authoritative reference on the archaic dialect of Spanish spoken in this region.

Book Description
New Mexico's Spanish legacy has informed the cultural traditions of one of the last states to join the union for more than four hundred years, or before the alluring capital of Santa Fe was founded in 1610. The fame the region gained from artist Georgia O'Keefe, writers Lew Wallace and D.H. Lawrence and pistolero Billy the Kid has made New Mexico an international tourist destination. But the Spanish annals also have enriched the Land of Enchantment with the factual stories of a superhero knight, the greatest queen in history, a saintly gent whose coffin periodically rises from the depths of the earth and a mysterious ancient map. Join author Ray John de Aragón as he reveals hidden treasure full of suspense and intrigue.

Book Description
"Lenguaje: A Cultural History of the Spanish Language of New Mexico" explores the complex evolution of the Spanish language of a small corner of the Spanish-speaking world: New Mexico and southern Colorado. "Lenguaje" recounts the dramatic history of the Spanish language from its vulgar Latin roots in Spain to present-day New Mexico. The themes of conquest and settler colonialism are common threads that unite the differing phases of the evolution of the Spanish language of New Mexico. In this in-depth study, Dr. Richard Griego gives an engaging historical outline of the various cultures that have contributed to the evolution of the region's unique traditional language. Unfortunately, this variety of Spanish is disappearing. The book details efforts to save the Spanish language in the face of cultural and political forces since American colonization. The current effort of dual-language immersion education is giving hope to many that Spanish can be maintained, even if in a more modern and universal form. Griego invites Hispanic New Mexicans to ponder their identity and the role of the Spanish language in this identity. *** "'Lenguaje' is impressively researched. Dr. Griego interprets the historical trajectory of Spanish in New Mexico and analyzes the role of Nuevomexicanos in keeping their ancestral language alive and as a major asset of their Mexicanidad. The text will provide a great service to scholars as well as the general public interested in Chicano culture." - Dr. David Maciel, historian, "Culture Across Borders," "El Bandolero, el Pocho y la Raza" *** "'Lenguaje: A Cultural History of the Spanish of New Mexico' is an excellent analysis and exploration of the historical roots of how Spanish evolved from the earliest days of the written word to the current manifestation of the language in New Mexico. Dr. Griego offers a comprehensive narrative that explores the intimate interaction of human/social history with the spoken language. This is a must-read for those interested in studying the evolution of language within the context of national evolution at the global level. "Dr. Griego presents a remarkable study of human history and language through the lenses of colonialism. The author demonstrates how language played a key role in global colonial expansion and conquest. The language of the powerful has always been dominant, yet, the language of the colonized survives. Spanish has been the language of colonizers as well as the colonized. This text is an important contribution to a deeper and integrative comprehension of human history."- Dr. David Maldonado, Jr., retired Methodist minister, "Crossing Guadalupe Street" *** Richard Griego is a native Nuevomexicano and retired Presidential Professor of Mathematics from the University of New Mexico. His academic field is probability theory, and he is recognized as one of the initiators of the theory of random evolutions. Dr. Griego has published in many journals, including "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences," "Transactions of the American Mathematical Society," and "Scientific American." He has also published "Conceptos de Probabilidad," Fondo de Cultura Económica, México. He has been a director of many science and other programs for enhancing the educational opportunities of underrepresented groups.

Book Description
An American Language is a tour de force that revolutionizes our understanding of U.S. history. It reveals the origins of Spanish as a language binding residents of the Southwest to the politics and culture of an expanding nation in the 1840s. As the West increasingly integrated into the United States over the following century, struggles over power, identity, and citizenship transformed the place of the Spanish language in the nation. An American Language is a history that reimagines what it means to be an American—with profound implications for our own time.
