"Andrea Hernandez-Baldoqui is well aware that teenage girls are frequently underestimated, which is why at 14 she's the perfect spy to uncover a White supremacist plot. Alongside her family - Puerto Rican mom, Mexican dad, and little brother Carlos - she works for the Factory, an intelligence organization that serves people of color, and now's the time for her first complex mission: moving to Arizona and befriending Kyle Summer, the estranged son of a White supremacist who may be planning an attack in the Southwest.

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1998. dj. Hardcover first edition - The story of four generations of Cuban women in the Revuelta family, "through whose lives the author illuminates a vivid picture - both personal and historical - of Cuba in our century. At its center is Naty: born in 1925, educated in the United States, a socialite during the Batista era, who after marriage to a prominent doctor and the birth of a daughter became intoxicated with Castro and his revolution (here, published for the first time, are the letters they exchanged while he was in jail). Though her husband and daughter immigrated to the United States after Castro's victory, Naty remained in Cuba to raise her second child, Castro's unacknowledged daughter, only to be ultimately confronted by his dismissive, withering judgment. One of her two daughters settles well into life in America, while the other never recovers from her father's repudiation; her granddaughter, who Naty desperately believes will return to Cuba when Castro is removed from the island; and her mother, an unregenerate reactionary." Illustrated with photographs. Selected chronology, bibliographical note. 234 pp. ISBN: 0-679430539.

Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, (1979) dj. Hardcover first edition - A book which "provides the first detailed analysis of the changes that transformed one of the most important Mexican pueblos in the Southwest into a Chicano urban barrio.. . the author traces the major socio-economic, political, and racial factors that evolved during the post-Mexican War decades and that created a subordinate status for Mexican Americans in a burgeoning American city."(Western Historical Quarterly) "Los Angeles Chicanos emerge . . as internally diverse, active participants in the simultaneous struggles to maintain their socio-cultural fabric and to capture a part of the American Dream. The author effectively demonstrates that the Chicano decline occurred not because of cultural weaknesses but as the almost inevitable result of Anglo prejudice, numerical domination, and control of political and economic institutions."

Chusma House Publications, (1992). SIGNED first edition - A book which combines poetry in both Spanish and English, drawings by Montoya, song lyrics and more. Rigoberto Gonzalez noted that the title "is 'joda' as in 'twenty years of struggle,' as in 'twenty years of fighting back.' A collection, commemorating two decades worth of work by Chicano poet Jose Montoya, one of the writers who pioneered the use of Calo and code-switching in American poetry, includes a portfolio with representations of Pachucas y Pachucos, Cholas y Cholos, Chicanas y Chicanos and other images reflecting a vatos worldview. 'I chose to include em,' Montoya explains in his preface, 'because they were done in el mismo espiritu that the poems were written in'." The book also includes lyrics to songs and corridos, many of which are performed by Montoyas musical group Tro Casindio. But the true engines in the book are his poems, many of which have become classics of Chicano letters, like 'El Louie', an all-attitude urban elegy and the celebrated poem 'The Movement Has Gone For Its Ph.D Over at the University or, The Gang Wars Are Back.' Born in Escoboza, New Mexico, Jos Montoya was raised there in Albuquerque and in California. He is a multidisciplinary artist: poet, painter, writer, and musician. Montoya is a founding member of the Rebel Chicano Art Front, better known as the Royal Chicano Air Force, a group of artists and poets in Sacramento, California. Boldly INSCRIBED by Montoya on the title page. 254 pp. Cover art by Jose Montoya. ISBN: 0-962453617.

Las Vegas, NM: New Mexico Highlands University, Division of Ethnic Studies, 1975. First edition - Includes five of the papers (4 in English, 1 in Spanish) presented at this symposium which was sponsored by the National Education Task Force de la Raza, Albuquerque, NM.; New Mexico Highlands University, Las Vegas, NM; Eric Clearing House on Rural Education, and La Luz Publications. From the overview by David Conde: Over 200 participants from 10 states and 17 universities attended. The papers cover Chicano poetry, novel, drama, and popular folklore humor. "National Character vs Universality in Chicano Poetry" by Sylvia Alicia Gonzales sets forth the notion that national traditions are adaptations of universal styles and national character is or should be but a step toward universality. The new "space" (identity) of Chicano art or literature is related to the definition of the Chicano national character in "The Space of Chicano Literature." by Juan Bruce-Novoa. In "La Prosa Chicano: Tres Epigones de la Novela Mexicana de la Revolucion" by Guillermo Rojas, three novels are reviewed - Tomas Rivera's "Y no se lo trago la tierra", Rolando R. Hinojosa-S. "Estampas del valle y otras obras", and Miguel Mandez-M.'s "Peregrinos de Aztlan." Humor as a tool of artistic expression is the topic of "Chicano Folklore: Raza Humor in Texas." by Jose Reyna. Although the title indicates a Texas context, many of the situations and expressions are part of the national Chicano experience. "Satire: Techniques and Devices in Luis Valdez''Las Dos Caras del Patroncito' by Nasario Garcia traces the exchange of roles between the oppressor and the oppressed. Notes at the end of each paper.Printed in typescript on recto of pages only, large format, 11.5 inches tall, 8.5 wide. 94 pp.
