Covers the histories of various individual Hispanic groups

Volume one of a five-volume series to be published at the rate of one volume every two years, Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage is a collection of articles by leading scholars on American Hispanic literary history. Intended to update both field experts and neophytes on the past and modern-day role of American Hispanic literature, Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage covers the histories of various individual Hispanic groups in America, specific genres, the question of canon-formation and socio-literary implications of the literary recovery project, and an introduction to numerous literary sources that chronicle American Hispanic imaginations. Edited by prize-winning historian Ramon Gutierrez and highly acclaimed literary critic Genaro Padilla, these articles along with research notes and bibliographies make for an excellent contribution to literary criticism and Hispanic literature studies shelves, especially in college libraries and curriculums.
