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.
Forgotten Dead
Mob violence in the United States is usually associated with the southern lynch mobs who terrorized African Americans during the Jim Crow era. In Forgotten Dead, William D. Carrigan and Clive Webb uncover a comparatively neglected chapter in the story of American racial violence, the lynching of persons of Mexican origin or descent. Over eight decades lynch mobs murdered hundreds of Mexicans, mostly in the American Southwest.

While their incorporation as citizens appeared as progress towards racial justice and the electorate's diversification, their second-class citizenship demonstrated a retrenchment in racial progress. Over several generations, civil rights activis...
Profiles in Journalistic Courage
Some of the bravest actions of journalists are unknown, obscured by the passage of time, hidden by veils of anonymity or buried by systematic repression. Profiles in Journalistic Courage corrects this imbalance. With few exceptions, the stories told in this collection are unfamiliar. In the words of Richard Whelan on Robert Capa's vision of the Spanish Civil War, these tales are drawn from the edge of things. Most of the people highlighted here are journalists who worked on the margins of popularity, who blazed new and solitary paths, and who left fleeting legacies.Courageous journalists were not always thanked for their pioneering efforts. Jealousy, political disagreements, and differing co...
Certifications approving the financial accounts submitted by José Ramírez de Dampierre of tax monies collected in the provinces of Tondo and Bulacan
Copies, possibly contemporary, of documents dated Aug. 29, 1855-June 17, 1859, certifying that the financial reports submitted by subdelegate José Ramírez de Dampierre of tax monies collected in the provinces of Tondo and Bulacan have been reviewed and are found to be in order. The head of the "tribunal de cuentas"--The exchequer--in Manila approves Ramírez's financial reports concerning the collection of fines; public works taxes; the Chinese head tax; "arbitrios" or locally-directed taxes; and taxes for the slaughtering of cattle, and for the maintenance of Filipino and Chinese prisoners. Documents from 1856 were signed by Francisco de P. Alguer and Antonio Sevillano, president and minister of the Tribunal; those from 1857 by Antonio Sevillano, Prudencio de Santos, and Francisco de Oteyza; and the certification from 1859 by Oteyza and Antonio Buera.
