Culture in the American Southwest
The Earth, the Sky, the People
KEITH L. BRYANT, JR.
The peoples of the American Southwest share a regional consciousness-an
experience of place-that has helped to create a unified, but not homogenized,
Southwestern culture. As Anglo Americans moved into the territories of the
greater Southwest, they brought with them a desire to reestablish the highest
culture of their former homes: opera, painting, sculpture, architecture, and liter-
ature. But their inherited way of life was challenged and reshaped by Native
American and Hispanic peoples, and a new, vibrant cultural life resulted. From
Houston to Los Angeles, from Tulsa to Tucson, Bryant traces the development
of "high culture" in the Southwest. $34.95
Spindletop Boom Days
PAUL N. SPELLMAN
The discovery of oil at Spindletop revolutionized the oil and drilling industry
in the United States. Before Spindletop's seventy thousand barrels of oil a day,
no other U.S. well had produced more than three thousand barrels in month.
Here, Spellman weaves together first-person narratives to tell of this moment
in history and shows the evolution of new drilling techniques and improve-
ments in derrick construction. Through the experiences of the men and women
who lived it, readers learn about the dangers of working on the oil rigs and the
comedy and the tragedy of daily life at the gusher. $29.95
Chicano Timespace
The Poetry and Politics of Ricardo Sanchez
MIGUEL R. LOPEZ
The death of Ricardo Sanchez in 1995 marked the passing of an almost leg-
endary figure in Chicano literature and in the Chicano political movement. In
a body of work that spanned spatial, temporal, and cultural boundaries,
Sanchez dealt with issues of power and cultural barriers between Anglo, Native
American, and Mexican American peoples. Here, L6pez examines Sanchez's
work and shows him as a writer committed to his craft as well as to his politi-
cal stance. "... a tour de force seldom equaled in Chicano/a criticism con-
cerned with the study of a single poet."-Luis Leal, University of California-
Santa Barbara. $37.95
