One reason the adjunct trend might go away.

by Dr Davis on January 16, 2010

Reading list, third novel

by Dr Davis on January 16, 2010

7. Another novel for Latino/a literature:
…y no se lo tragó la tierra by Tomás Rivera (Spanish / English edition)
OR Tomás Rivera: The Complete Works (includes the novel and his influential critical articles, including “Into the Labyrinth: The Chicano in Literature”)

Other resources:
Discussion guide by Ramón Saldívar
Glencoe McGraw-Hill introduction and discussion guide

Note: I haven’t read all of this yet. However, I seem to be favoring female authors. I don’t want to do that. So, here’s one of my token male authors.
