The literature of the Lone Star State has long attracted local, regional, and national audiences and critics, yet the state's Mexican American voices have yet to receive the attention they deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHecho en Tejas\u003c\/i\u003e is a historic anthology that establishes the canon of Mexican American literature in Texas. With close to one hundred selections chosen, the book reaches back to the sixteenth-century exploration narrative of Texas's first Spanish-speaking writer, Alvar Nuñez Cabeza de Vaca. It features prose by Américo Paredes and Jovita Gonzalez, Rolando Hinojosa and Tomás Rivera, Estela Trambley Portillo, and Sandra Cisneros. Among the poets included in the anthology are Ricardo Sánchez, Carmen Tafolla, Angela de Hoyos, and Abelardo \"Lalo\" Delgado. \u003ci\u003eHecho en Tejas\u003c\/i\u003e also includes corridos from the turn of the century and verses sung by music legends such as Lydia Mendoza and Santiago Jimenez, Sr., Freddy Fender, and Selena. In addition to these established names, already known across the United States, \u003ci\u003eHecho en Tejas\u003c\/i\u003e introduces such younger writers as Christine Granados, Erasmo Guerra, and Tonantzin Canestaro-Garcia, the famous Tejano authors of tomorrow. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn assembling this canonic reader, Dagoberto Gilb has created more than an anthology. Read cover to cover, \u003ci\u003eHecho en Tejas\u003c\/i\u003e becomes not only a literary showcase, but also a cultural and historical narrative both for those familiar with Texas Mexicans and for outsiders. \u003ci\u003eHecho en Tejas\u003c\/i\u003e is a mosaic portrait of the community, the land and its history, its people's sorrows and joys, anger and humor and pride, what has been assimilated and what will not be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-124652\"\u003eDagoberto Gilb\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of New Mexico Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.98h x 7.08w x 1.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826341266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826341268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT004050\"\u003eAmerican | Hispanic \u0026amp; Latino\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO002000\"\u003eAmerican | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO007000\"\u003eCaribbean \u0026amp; Latin American\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of New Mexico Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49248730349867,"sku":"0826341268","price":49.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0884\/7966\/2379\/files\/university-of-new-mexico-press-paperback-default-title-hecho-en-tejas-an-anthology-of-texas-mexican-literature-38985426272555.jpg?v=1772741179","url":"https:\/\/www.txcorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/hecho-en-tejas-an-anthology-of-texas-mexican-literature-9780826341266","provider":"TX CorrectionsBookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
