No Turning Back
This book is the story of one mission school that was established to give the gospel to the Navajo people. Although Native Americans are United States citizens, each tribe has its own language and culture, which has kept them from becoming accepted participants in many English language activities. Our goal was not only to give them the gospel, but also to help them learn English and basic subjects, enabling them to become active citizens in New Mexico and beyond. Most of our eighth grade graduates have finished high school and many have received advanced college degrees.

Interiors and Narrative
Interiors and Narrative shows how crucial interiors are for our understanding of the nature of narrative. A growing cultural fascination with interior dwelling so prevalent in the late nineteenth century parallels an intensification of the rhetorical function interior architecture plays in the development of fiction. The existential dimension of dwelling becomes so intimately tied to the novelistic project that fiction surfaces as a way of inhabiting the world. This study illustrates this through a comparative reading of three realist masterpieces of the Luso-Hispanic nineteenth century: Machado de Assis’s Quincas Borba (1891), Eça de Queirós’s The Maias (1888), and Leopoldo Alas’s L...
