This collection of essays establishes the importance of this literary heritage through a critical examination of key texts produced in the Southwest from 1542 to 1848. Drawing on research in the archives of southwestern libraries and applying contemporary literary theoretical constructs to these centuries-old manuscripts, the authors-all noted scholars in Chicano literature-demonstrate that these works should be recognized as an integral part of American literature.American literatureSouthwest, NewHistory and criticismSpanish American literatureTo 1800History and criticismSouthwest, NewIn literatureSouthwest, NewIntellectual lifeElectronic books.
