BIOGRAPHY Luis Leal was born in Linares, Nuevo León, México on 17 September 1907. At the time of the mexican revolution, he emigrated to the United States, and established his residence in Chicago, where he continued his education. On september 1936 he married Gladys Clemens. From this marriage they had two sons, Antonio and Luis Alonso. In 1943 LuisLeal joined the United States Army, and was sent to the Pacific for two years. After his service in the Philippines at war's end, he continued his doctoral work at the University of Chicago and won his degree in Philosophy and Belles Lettres in 1950. In 1951, he served as President of the Chicago Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP), in 1952 he served as President of the Chicago Society of Romance Language Teachers, and in 1953, as Chairman Guide to the Luis Leal Papers, Special Collections M761 2 1946-1985 of a Spanish section for the South Central Modern Language Association (the SCMLA). Luis Leal held a number of teaching positions. From Instructor, Assistant Professor and Associate Professor at the University of Chicago, University of Illinois, Visiting Professor at UCSB and UCLA, Visiting Professor/Lecturer at the University of Chicago, University of Arizona, University of Wisconsin, National University of Mexico, Middlebury College, University of Arizona NDEA Institute, Guadalajara, México, and Stanford Univeristy. Surrounded by mexican ambience, Doctor Luis Leal lives in Santa Bárbara with his gentle wife. His house like his heart continues open to share with disciples and friends the literary topics, memories of classrooms and the destiny of man. SCOPE AND CONTENT The Luis Leal papers document the personal and academic activities of a literary historiographer, mexican writer, and critic. Director of the Research Center for Chicano Studies at U.C. Santa Barbara and Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Leal has achieved a record of distinction as Professor of Spanish-American literature and has authored numerous books and hundreds of journal articles dealing with Latin American and Chicano literature. Especially noteworthy articles on Chicano literature include "Mexican American literature: a historical perspective," and "The problem of identifying Chicano literature." By the time that Professor Leal began to study Chicano literature, he was one of the most respected critics of Latin American literature, and in particular the Mexican short story. The prestigious--and unfortunately now defunct--Mexican publishing house of Andre had published five books of his: Breve historia del cuento mexicano (1956), Antología del cuento mexicano (1957), Bibliografía del cuento mexicano (1958), Mariano Azuela: vida y obra (1961), and Historia del cuento hispanoamericano (1966). With these books, and many others published in the United States and Latin America, together with the innumerable articles and monographs which appeared in all the best academic periodicals, Leal built an admirable body of work, solid and systematic.

  • GALA Hispanic Theatre 41St Season Continues with Modern Mexican Masterpiece Featuring Julieta Egurrola, Star of Mexican Stage and Screen
    GALA Hispanic Theatre 41st Season Continues with Modern Mexican Masterpiece Featuring Julieta Egurrola, Star of Mexican Stage and Screen Culture 2017-01-05 10:02:26 Washington, DC – GALA Hispanic Theatre continues its 41st season with the U.S. premiere of the modern Mexican classic of Yo también hablo de la rosa/I Too Speak of the Rose by Emilio Carballido, directed by GALA Producing Artistic Director Hugo Medrano. Yo también hablo de la rosa is performed in Spanish with English surtitles from February 2 through February 26, 2017 at GALA Theatre, 3333 14th Street, NW, Washington, D.C. The theater is one block from the Columbia Heights metro station on the Green/Yellow lines. Discounted parking is available behind the theater at the Giant Food garage. In this searing look at poverty and society’s response to it, two poor teens who accidentally derail a train while skipping school become the subject of a media frenzy. As they follow the occurrence, diverse people reveal, with biting humor and wit, their socio-political views on the cause of the incident and provide insight into the complexities of Mexican life in the 1960s. In searching for the truth behind the accident, the author presents a broader view that is sometimes a hilarious political commentary, as well as a new perspective on reality. “I was drawn,” states director Medrano, “to this play because like so many of Carballido’s plays he combines realistic and symbolic elements in which the ordinary coincides with the extraordinary. Moreover, his examination of unjust structures deeply rooted in Mexican society and history still has great relevance to societies today.” Playing the role of the medium is Julieta Egurrola, one of Mexico’s leading actors and a member of the Compañía Nacional de Teatro.

    Writing on the Edge: Impressions of a U.S.–Mexico Border in Rolando Hinojosa’s Estampas del Valle by Maria Guadalupe Cantu A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction for the requirements for the degree in Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor José Rabasa, Co-Chair Professor José Luiz Passos, Co-Chair Professor José David Saldívar Professor Julio Ramos Fall 2011 Writing on the Edge: Impressions of a U.S.–Mexico Border in Rolando Hinojosa’s Estampas del Valle Copyright 2011 By Maria Guadalupe Cantu Abstract Writing on the Edge: Impressions of a U.S.–Mexico Border in Rolando Hinojosa’s Estampas del Valle by Maria Guadalupe Cantu Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor José Rabasa, Co-Chair Professor José Luiz Passos, Co-Chair This dissertation engages in a critical reading of Rolando Hinojosa’s early fiction in Estampas del Valle as an example of a unique border literature that highlights the multiplicity of elements that exist along the Rio Grande. By using the work of an author that has direct experience with life along the U.S.-Mexico border the aim of this study is to look at how the border region and its cultural and spatial manifestations impact on writings concerned with memory, the personal and the self. Authors such as Rolando Hinojosa live within the blessing and terrors of multiplicity; a culture that splinters and fragments into multiple perspectives, identities, voices and discourses. This analysis attempts to locate the place of the border and its people as a vital locus of enunciation in contemporary cultural and literary studies and simultaneously show how Hinojosa forged new ground in this literary publication by creating an idiosyncratic form of fragmentary writing.

I chose "Virgen de los veranos" and "Parque de diversiones" from the former collection, and "La fiesta brava" from the latter. There are two main focuses in my work; one is the translation of the three short stories into English and the other is the analyses of the stories. In addition, as an aid to placing the stories contextually within the history of Mexican literature, I include a chapter on the development of the Mexican short story.
