Not only was she the first Hispanic novelist to write English, but her courage and resolve took her into the circles of governmental and financial power where very few women had tread before. Conflicts of Interest captures the conflicted personality of María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, a woman pulled in different directions by tensions of class, race, gender, and nationality. The trajectory of Ruiz de Burtons life through her correspondence makes for a compelling and revealing narrative, one that brings to life the evolution of discourse and culture in the Southwest as it was becoming integrated in the United States a process which, some might argue, continues today. This volume is as complete a collection of the Ruiz de Burton letters as is possible, given the imperfect historical record. Included are various personal and business documents and a collection of articles about her family. Among her correspondents were such important historical figures as Samuel L. M. Barlow, E. W. Morse, Prudenciana Moreno, and Platón Vallejo. But this album is not a simple collection of letters and documents; rather, researchers Sánchez and Pita have made great efforts to reconstitute Ruiz de Burtons life and times through their analysis and commentary.Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project publication.Hispanic American authorsCorrespondenceHispanic American womenCorrespondenceNovelists, American19th centuryCorrespondenceHispanic American authorsHispanic American womenNovelists, American813/.4BRuiz de Burton Maria Amparo1832-1895.1815304Pita Beatrice1815305Sanchez Rosaura1815303MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965942403321Conflicts of interest4370076UNINA
