Recovering the U. S. Hispanic Literary

This historic fourth volume of articles represents the finished, re-worked product of the biennial conferences of recovery, providing theoretical and practical approaches, and critical studies on specific texts. Jose Aranda and Silvio Torres-Saillant's introduction conceptualizes and unifies a broad historical swath that encompasses the Spanish and English-language expression of Hispanic natives, immigrants and exiles from the colonial period to 1960.

Jose F. Aranda, Jr. is a professor of English at Rice University in Houston, Texas, where he lives with his wife and children Silvio Torres-Saillant, Associate Professor of English and Director of the Latino-Latin American Studies Program at Syracuse University, is the founder and former director of the CUNY Dominican Studies Institute at the City College of New York
