  • A Never Ending Never Done Bibliography of Multicultural Literature for Younger and Older Children
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 407 388 SP 037 304 AUTHOR Walters, Toni S., Comp.; Cramer, Amy, Comp. TITLE A Never Ending Never Done Bibliography of Multicultural Literature for Younger and Older Children. First Edition. PUB DATE 96 NOTE 51p. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Reference Materials Bibliographies (131) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adolescent Literature; Adolescents; *American Indian Literature; American Indians; Asian Americans; *Black Literature; Blacks; Children; Childrens Literature; Elementary Secondary Education; *Ethnic Groups; *Hispanic American Literature; Hispanic Americans; United States Literature IDENTIFIERS African Americans; *Asian American Literature; Latinos; *Multicultural Literature; Native Americans ABSTRACT People of all ages are addressed in this bibliography of multicultural literature. It focuses on four major ethnic groups: African Americans, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, and Native Americans. Within each category a distinction is made between those works with an authentic voice and those with a realistic voice. An authentic voice is an author or illustrator who is from the particular ethnic group and brings expertise and life experience to his/her writings or illustrations. A realistic voice is that of an author or illustrator whose work is from outside that experience, but with valuable observations. An asterisk notes the distinction. No distinction is drawn between juvenile literature and adult literature. The decision is left to the reader to make the choices, because some adult literature may contain selections appropriate to children. Two appendices provide: a selected annotated bibliography (14 entries) on multiethnic/multicultural literature references and analyses and sources of multiethnic/multicultural books.(SPM) ******************************************************************************** Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

    EXPRESSIONS OF MEXICANNESS AND THE PROMISE OF AMERICAN LIBERALISM by EINAR A. ELSNER, B.A., M.A. A DISSERTATION IN POLITICAL SCIENCE Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved Chairperson of the Committee Accepted Dean of the Graduate School August, 2002 Copyright 2002, Einar A. Eisner ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I completed my graduate coursework at Texas Tech University and wrote this dissertation while teaching at Sul Ross State University. Many good men and women in both institutions helped and inspired me along the way. At Sul Ross, I had the pleasure and good fortune of working in an environment of conviviality and intellectual curiosity. Jimmy Case, the department chair, was there for me every time I needed him and inspired me to teach with passion. CUff Hirsch appeared on the shores of my consciousness and provided me with guidance at crucial turns. Ed Marcin welcomed me into his Ufe with a warm abrazo and Mark Saka never ceased to remind me of the need to keep writing. I owe much intellectual development to Daniel Busey, the most inquisitive of my students, and my enthusiasm for teaching to the hundreds of students who took my courses. I will never forget the hours we spent together in the classroom! For reasons too numerous to list here, I am also gratefiil to other people at Sul Ross and the community of Alpine. They are Jay Downing, Nelda Gallego, Paul Wright, Dave Cockrum, Sharon Hileman, Pete Gallego, Abe Baeza, Luanne Hirsch, Carol Greer, Hugh Garrett, Rhonda Austin, John Klingeman, Jon Ward, Jeff Haynes, Eleazar Cano, many of my fellow Kiwanians, and, last but not least, R.C.

    Mester, Vol xxii, No. 2 (Fali, 1993) &Vol. xxiii, No.l (Spring, 1994) 165 East of Downtown and Beyond Interview with Helena Maria Viramontes A native of East Los Angeles, Helena Maria Viramontes has participated in manyjoumals, literary contests, andcommunity activities. She is bestknown forher intemationally acclaimed The Moths and Other Stories published in 1985 by Arte Público Press. This coUection of short stories brings to light the importance of the urban woman's voice, concems, and perspectives within Chicano/Latino culture. Viramontes calis attention to the themes of sexuality in "Growing" and "Birthday," changing cultural/sexual roles in "The Broken Web," the relationships among women in "The Moths," and the immigrant experience in "Cariboo Café." In Chicana Creativity and Criticism: Charting New Frontiers in American Literature (1987), Viramontes and Maria Herrera-Sobek coedited a coUection of criticai articles, fiction, poetry, and essays on Chicana literature, a project that was inspired by a conference held at U.C. Irvine. The book proved to be very popular and recently sold out. The University of New México Press will reissue the book in an expanded edition. In this coUection, the short story "Miss Qairol" by Viramontes shows a new direction in the representation of the urban female factory worker in Chicano/Latino Uterature according to Herrera-Sobek. In "Nopahtos" (Breaking Boundaries: Writings by Latinas 1989), Viramontes cul ti vates the testimonial genre by giving us an autobiographical account of the importance of the oral tradition in her work.
