Processing History Compiled by Armando M. Martinez, edited by Clifford R. Wurfel, introduction by Luis Leal, foreword by Eliud Martinez. Completed in 1992. Biography Tomás Rivera was born on December 22, 1935 in Crystal City, Texas. Rising from humble beginnings as the son of Mexican migrant farm workers, Rivera went to Southwest Texas State University, where he received his B.S. in English Education in 1958. He then taught English and Spanish in high school in San Antonio, Crystal City, and League City. Aiming higher, he returned to Southwest Texas State to get a Master's in Education in 1964 and then, in 1969, he received a Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma in Romance Literatures. From teaching he moved to administration. He began as an Associate Professor of Spanish at Sam Houston State University in 1969; he moved to the University of Texas in San Antonio in 1971 to be a professor of Spanish and Directory of Foreign Languages. Five year later he was Vice President for Administration there, a post he held for two years, at which time he moved to the University of Texas at El Paso to be its Executive Vice President. In 1979, Rivera became Chancellor at UCR, where he served until his untimely death on March 16, 1984. He was survived by his wife, Concepcion; daughters Ileana, Irasema; son, Javier. With diligence and intelligence Rivera overcame the great handicap of his youthful poverty and rose to success through academic achievement. He was a strong proponent of education, as his career in the academic work indicates. He was also a writer and a poet of some note. Writing about the life of migrant workers.

Martínez, archivist, has brought to completion The Tomás Rivera archive catalog. It was for me a pleasure to witness the stimulating effect on this young scholar of Tomás Rivera documents during the seven-year process of archival work. The Catalog compiled by Armando M. Martínez and edited by Clifford R. Wurfel makes available to international scholars and writers and biographers the systematic order and conceptual coherence of Tomás Rivera's prolific work in countless areas of intellectual and creative endeavor. The Tomás Rivera archive catalog exhibits praiseworthy professional skills, organizational abilities, insight, and a rare enthusiasm--all commensurate with Armando's task as principal archivist. I must emphasize the rare enthusiasm, because it is genuinely sincere. His work is that of a person whose intellectual curiosity has been inspirited and made more insightful by his subject. It is careful, meticulous, and conscientious. The succinct descriptions of the archive contents are clearly written. They compress and at the same time give an ample sense of each of more than 85,000 items in the Tomás Rivera Archive. These descriptions, the systematic classification of Tomás Rivera's work, and the Index of the Catalog will be invaluable to scholars. In sum, the Catalog is a scholarly reference work of high caliber. In going over the completed manuscript of The Tomás Rivera archive catalog,I was struck by the staggering amount of correspondence that evinces Tomás' bountiful professional and creative support of others, his unselfishness, and his extraordinary energy. I remember Concha telling me that he used to arrive at the fourth floor of the UC Riverside Administration building at six in the morning. Beginning the workday that early and leaving the office long after five o'clock was a regular pattern in his life. Many persons who wrote letters to Tomás included manuscripts of short stories, novels in progress, poetry collections or anthologies, and scholarly articles and books in various academic disciplines. Requesting that he read, analyze, review, and critique them. And he did. Ponderous in number also, are the requests that he write letters of recommendation for academic positions, merit increases, promotions to full professor, applications to graduate schools. Tomás Rivera responded to these and countless other demands on his time: to serve on various educational and professional committees at national and regional levels, to present papers, to guide people working on dissertations, and to serve as reader and judge on writing competition committees. Professor Luis Leal emphasizes the breadth of Tomás Rivera's influence and predicts that this influence will grow. With the publication of The Tomás Rivera archive catalog,Tomás' influence influence during his lifetime can be assessed, and will grow, in proportion to the discovery of the full range of his historical, philosophical, educational, and artistic thought. This Catalog makes possible many discoveries for interested writers and scholars. It is an excellent guide to the Tomás Rivera Archive documents, which permit one to follow the trajectory of the life and the personal vision of a multifaceted creative writer and thinker.

    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.

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.
