Herrera Photography by Robert Kaiser Poetry by Levi Romero Foreword by Luis Valdez “With palabras, photos, and poems, Spencer Herrera, Robert Kaiser, and Levi Romero remind us of that ancient physical, social, and spiritual landscape that is often forgotten, often unknown: the Chicano homeland. Look at the pictures, recite the poems, read the stories—remember what is sacred.”— Ito Romo, author of El Puente/The Bridge Un lugar sagrado, a sacred place where two or more are gathered in the name of community, can be found almost anywhere and yet it is elusive: a charro arena behind a rock quarry, on the pilgrimage trail to Chimayó, a curandero’s shrine in South Texas, or at a binational Mass along the border. Sagrado is neither a search for October identity nor a quest for a homeland but an affirmation 160 pp. 9 x 12 of an ever-evolving cultural landscape.

Kurland and Enrique R. Lamadrid Photographs by Miguel A. Gandert Introduction by Evangeline Ordaz-Molina In Boyle Heights, gateway to East Los Angeles, sits the 1889 landmark “Hotel Mariachi,” where musicians have lived and gathered on the adjacent plaza for more than half a century. This book is a photographic and ethnographic study of the mariachis, Mariachi Plaza de Los Angeles, and the neighborhood. The newly restored brick hotel embodies a triumphant struggle of preservation against all odds, and its origins open a portal into the Mexican pueblo’s centuries-old multiethnic past.

Seth Horton and Brett Garcia Myhren “In this book the Southwest emerges as a region dominated by short, intercut ‘sights’ rather than John Ford or Park Service panoramas. The reader-as-tourist often remains, but the views of the Southwest presented here are more often fleeting glances—a San Diego neighborhood glimpsed from a freeway onramp, a baby’s cry heard in the desert night, freshly graded roads to subdivisions that don’t yet exist.
