The Construction of Latina/o Literary Imaginaries
This book explores the cultural and historical imaginary expressed in literary works that emphasize Latina/o world views. The essays here employ critical approaches based on discourse and cultural analyses that highlight individual and collective identity. They encompass a wide spectrum of topics that deal with border newspapers published early in the twentieth century and their function as a forum for conserving memory based on cultural values and religious beliefs; life writing and fictional rewritings of memory; autobiographical texts that emphasize the diasporic experience of immigrants; and the essay and the poetic/visual literary forms that recover border memory. The discussion of alternative life views presented here will be of interest to academics involved in the recovery of print culture and genre specialists in the area of autobiography, as well as readers who wish to become more familiar with literature from the US-Mexico border region.
Hispanic Periodicals in the United States, Origins to 1960
By all accounts, the most important document for studying history, literature, and culture of Hispanics in the United States has been Spanish-language newspapers. Now, a noted cultural historian and a respected indexer-bibliographer have teamed up to provide the first comprehensive and authoritative source on the production, worldview, and distribution of these periodicals. This useful compendium includes richly annotated entries, notes, and three indexes: by subject, by date, and by geography. The bibliography includes some 1,700 entries in standard bibliographic annotation.
Púlpito
In this, the only book available that addresses the distinctive issues and character of preaching in the Hispanic congregation, the authors discuss important historical, theoretical, and methodological issues in Hispanic homiletics. Includes ten sermons.
Study of Reutilization of Wastewater Recycled Through Groundwater
A project to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of recycling water under operating conditions was performed in the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley of the State of California. Since the Valley is a closed basin, and is dependent in part upon imported water, it was felt that recycling of the water would ultimately lead to a reduction in the salt input and resultant degradation of the existing underground reservoir. The project added considerable knowledge and experience to the technology of intermittent wastewater percolation and associated monitoring techniques. A novel feature of the project was the employment of highly sensitive temperature probes to trace the lateral migration of the recharged water, much of which appears to be escaping as shallow underflow to the San Jacinto River and hence not reaching the deep groundwater table.
Iberian Books / Libros ibéricos (IB)
This is the first comprehensive listing of all books published in Spain, Portugal, Mexico and Peru or in Spanish or Portuguese before 1601.

A Gospel for the Poor
In 1974, the International Congress on World Evangelization met in Lausanne, Switzerland. Gathering together nearly 2,500 Protestant evangelical leaders from more than 150 countries and 135 denominations, it rivaled Vatican II in terms of its influence. But as David C. Kirkpatrick argues in A Gospel for the Poor, the Lausanne Congress was most influential because, for the first time, theologians from the Global South gained a place at the table of the world's evangelical leadership—bringing their nascent brand of social Christianity with them. Leading up to this momentous occasion, after World War II, there emerged in various parts of the world an embryonic yet discernible progressive coal...
