Celebrate Native American and Hispanic/Latino Culture Months

This display celebrates Hispanic/Latino and Native American Heritage Months. It features both books and web sites that cover: art, politics, history, and literature by and about Native Americans and Hispanics/Latinos.

Lost Their Accents. New York: Plume, 1992.
PS3551 L845 H66 1992.
Forced to flee their native Caribbean island after an attempted coup, the Garcias--Carlos, Laura, and their four daughters-- must learn a new way of life in the Bronx, while trying to cling to the old ways that they loved. Eagerly embracing their new American culture, the four Garcia women iron their hair, smoke cigarettes, date American men, forget their Spanish, and lose their accents, all in their journey toward adulthood.

Alvarez, Julia. In the Time of Butterflies. New York: Plume, 1995.
PS3551 L845 I5 1995.

From the author of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents comes this tale of courage and sisterhood set in the Dominican Republic during the rise of the Trujillo dictatorship. A skillful blend of fact and fiction, In the Time of the Butterflies is inspired by the true story of the three Mirabal sisters who, in 1960, were murdered for their part in an underground plot to overthrow the government.

Alvarez, Julia. Once Upon a Quinceanera: Coming of Age in the USA. New York: Viking, 2007.
Popular GT2490 A45 2007.

The quinceanera, the fifteenth birthday celebration for a Latina girl, is quickly becoming an American event. This legendary party is a sight to behold: lavish ball gowns, extravagant catered meals, DJs, limousines, and multi-tiered cakes. The must-haves for a "quince" are becoming as numerous and costly as a prom or wedding. And yet, this elaborate ritual also hearkens back to traditions from native countries and communities, offering young Latinas a chance to connect with their heritage.

The compilers, scholars who have studied and written about the Latino population in the United States, have put together an anthology of literary works dealing with the panorama of Latino writings in the United States. The selections range widely, from Cabeza de Vaca's 1542 description of the South to recent excerpts from Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Mexican American authors. The collection is primarily literary though it does include some historical, autobiographical, and essay excerpts.

Capetillo, Luisa Nation of Women: An Early Feminist Speaks Out. Houston, TX: Arte Public Press, 2004.
HQ1214 C26 2004.

Luisa Capetillo is best known in popular culture as the first woman to wear men's trousers. The splash of recognition following her arrest and acquittal for her choice of clothing in 1915, today overshadows her significant contributions to the women's movement and the anarchist labor movements, both in her native Puerto Rico and in the migrant labor belt that stretched along the Eastern United States, from Tampa to New York.

Garcia, Eugene E. Hispanic Education in the United States. Lanham, MD: Rowan & Littlefield, 2001.
LC2669 G37 2001

Among the many recent books on educational reform, Eugene E. Garcia's Hispanic Education in the United States stands out as a landmark work. Garcia vibrantly portrays what works in creating better educational opportunities and effective school reform. He also offers a telling reflection on the bicultural experience of minority groups in the U.S. Culture is an asset in any individual's educational attainment.

Gaspar de Alba, Alicia. Chicano Art Inside/Outside the Master’s House: Cultural Politics and the CARA Exhibition. Austin, TX: University of Texas Press, 1998.
N6538 M4 G37 1998.

This book presents the first interdisciplinary cultural study of the CARA exhibit. Alicia Gaspar de Alba looks at the exhibit as a cultural text in which the Chicano/a community affirmed itself not as a "subculture" within the U.S. but as an "alter-Native" culture in opposition to the exclusionary and homogenizing practices of mainstream institutions. She also shows how the exhibit reflected the cultural and sexual politics of the Chicano Movement and how it serves as a model of Chicano/a popular culture more generally.

Grillo, Evelio. Black Cuban, Black American: A Memoir. Houston, TX: Arte Publico Press, 2000.
E184 C97 G73 2000.

This work presents a seldom-made contrast, that of the differing experiences of a black man in Cuba and in the United States. Grillo, a community organizer and political activist, often tells us of the milder divisions between blacks and whites on his home island and of the much tougher, more inextricable racial barriers for blacks in "el Norte." Not only do whites abuse blacks in Tampa but U.S. blacks also set up hurdles for immigrant blacks such as Grillo and his family. As he is assimilated into U.S. black culture, Grillo documents his understanding and enjoyment of the agencies that American blacks developed to survive, grow, and eventually flourish.

McNees, Pat Editor. Contemporary Latin American Short Stories. New York: Fawcett Columbine, 1996.
PQ7087 E5 C65 1996.

People speak of a "boom" in Latin American writing, and this is justly irritating to the writers. It is not that their writing has suddenly become worthy of international attention. It is that we, the readers, are finally paying attention to it. This collection of stories is a response to that interest.

F220 S75 L37 2006.

Authors include professors of geography, sociology, and anthropology and several scientists from the USDA Forest Service. The essays speak clearly to primary political and social issues relating to legal and illegal immigrants today. Myths are debunked and a clear statement of the essential contributions of contemporary immigrants is documented. Ironically, the US, a nation proud of its immigrant origins, continues to cycle through nativist ideologies, seeking to eliminate newcomers who are seen as threats by some citizens and elected officials.

Bordewich, Fergus M. Killing the White Man’s Indian: The Reinvention of Native Amercians at the End of the 20th Century. New York: Doubleday, 1996.
E99 T77 B67 1996.

In the face of a new lightly romanticized view of Native Americans, Killing the White Man's Indian bravely confronts the current myths and often contradictory realities of tribal life today. Following two centuries of broken treaties and virtual government extermination of the "savage redmen," Americans today have recast Native Americans into another, equally stereotyped role, that of eternal victims, politically powerless and weakened by poverty and alcoholism, yet whose spiritual ties with the natural world form our last, best hope of salvaging our natural environment and ennobling our souls.
