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.

Faith, Hope and Service in Denise Chávez's Face of an Angel
Faith, Hope and Service in Denise Chávez’s Face of an Angel Linda Naranjo-Huebl Calvin College enise Chávez dedicates her book Face of an Angel to “all the women, criadas Dand ayudantes, who have taught me the meaning of the word service.” She navigates a difficult path celebrating service in a tradition—Chicano Catholic cul- ture—that valorizes the complete effacement and martyrdom of women, and also in a secular intellectual culture that views religious beliefs with suspicion. Chávez gives us a hero, Soveida Dosamantes, who struggles to effect change—to stop destructive cycles of privilege—while rejecting a too narrowly defined feminism that might view woman’s service as a dysfunction that must be remedied. The novel traces the protagonist’s progressing struggle to assert a new Chicana identity, but the change comes very slowly, in steps; and Chávez’s structuring of sections after orders of an- gels in the Catholic tradition underscores and complements Soveida’s journey. The second part of the book’s dedication—“for all my sisters likewise who have waited, will wait”—reflects the focus of the narrative on faith and hope, central to the novel. Soveida Dosamantes learns to wait on herself as well as others. Chávez’s book is structured around the orders of angels in the Catholic theological tradition: angels, archangels, principalities, powers, virtues, dominations, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim. In explaining why theologians have thus categorized angels, Pope Gregory I cites their varied service: “But why do we touch upon these choirs of steadfast angels by listing them, if not to describe their ministries in a plain manner? We ought to know that whatever angels are called, their name signifies a service” (qtd.

David King Dunaway and Sara Spurgeon, Eds. Writing the Southwest
David King Dunaway and Sara Spurgeon, eds. Writing the Southwest. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1995. 269p. Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs Seattle University It is perhaps the incidental conversation, the intimate details, or the added conversa- tions with the authors about the idiosyncrasies of life that most enrich the pages of Writing the Southwest. David King Dunaway and Sara Spurgeon provide us with a complete set of interviews with major Southwest authors: Tony Hillerman, Paula Gunn Allen, Denise Chávez, Barbara Kingsolver, Simon Ortiz, and Joy Harjo, to name some. With a foreword by Rudolfo Anaya (also interviewed in the collection), acclaimed author of Bless Me Ultima, one of the early traditional canonic pillars of Chicano literature, and a preface by Paula Gunn Allen, the book is a definite jewel in literary history, important because it inscribes the study of authors less known to American mainstream literary audiences, and renowned Southwest authors, including them as established. The body of the book, a collection of interviews with fourteen renowned au- thors, is embraced by a hefty introduction and selected bibliography by the editors. The introduction provides the reader with a historical background, a multicultural background and an understanding or clarification of a body of authors who were cradled by a richness of culture, non-traditionally thought of as “culture”: folktales, cuentos, proverbs or dichos, and religious-based folk dramas. It places the authors in the book within a historical context in its “Recent Southwestern Voices” and provides for a critical analysis of the literature’s background. The introduction is invaluable in understanding the corpus of Southwest writing and the culturally rich background of the authors.
