Bienvenidos. Latina/o Literature and literature of the
Americas are taught in courses offered by the
Department of English at the University of Northern Colorado. At
this site you will find posted various courses and syllabi, and there are
substantial links to Latinidad. Please note and take advantage of the
resources for finding books, many of which are becoming increasingly scarce as
today's publishing market is forcing many small presses out of business. Check out Espresso
Mi Cultura, a wonderful looking website and bookstore in
Hollywood. "For the best selection of books by or on Chicanos/Latinos
and on culture of the Latino & Indigenous Americas."
Also worth looking at are two
websites for new books. The first is J.L. Navarro's
website where you can read the first chapters of his two new books, After
the War and A Little Bit of Madness. Navarro's website address
is http://tuvo_13.tripod.com/books/. The
second is
On another note, and for a very strange
experience, have you ever considered confessing to Performance Artists?
Although his name is not on the site, if you want to get internet interactive
with Guillermo Gomez-Peņa, or someone who does a great imitation, then visit
Pretty amazing.
If
you are trying to find a speaker, or if you are interested in "an
alternative educational resource for those interested in learning about Latinos
in the United States," take a look at Latino
Promotions. Their home page says, "our various programs
and resources provide information about Latino history, politics, and culture,
as well as several issues such as immigration, affirmative action, ethnic
identity, multiculturalism, and how these fields relate the diverse Latino
groups in the United States."
Ni modo, enjoy the website, and please drop me a note with suggestions or comments. Que le vaya
bien.
