One could expect that a book like this would open the gates to an increasing and continuous flood of Tejano writing." .,."Gilb's anthology invitingly and officially allows us "all" to join him as we go 'Onward y adelante!' It's about time." "A prolific and accomplished writer, Gilb presages this unique, lively collection with a unique, jaunty introduction--a fine example of the blend of gravity and levity in Texas Mexican literature...One finds familiar texts and voices, delightful surprising inclusions, and recent voices...Highly recommended." "Gilb's anthology boasts a list of truly remakable authors--not just 'Mexican-American' authors but 'authors' without the minority label." "This anthology shatters stereotypes, offers insightful historical and cultural reflections and showcases Tejano writers, some very much alive and mostly of the 20th century." ., ."the wealth of information, the style and degree of importance placed on each sample of writing, photography, and artistic images found in ["Hecho en Tejas"] serves as priceless treasure to be consumed within its own treasure chest...["Hecho en Tejas"] is here to stay, hopefully like a seed planted in the feritle minds of its readers." ., ."Gilb's anthology invitingly and officially allows us "all" to join him as we go 'Onward y adelante!'

SynopsisOnce an independent nation, Texas has always been proud of its unique culture. The literature of the Lone Star State has long attracted local, regional, and national audiences and critics, yet the state's Mexican American voices have yet to receive the attention they deserve. Hecho en Tejas is a historic anthology that establishes the canon of Mexican American literature in Texas. With close to one hundred selections chosen, the book reaches back to the sixteenth-century exploration narrative of Texas's first Spanish-speaking writer, Alvar Nu ez Cabeza de Vaca. It features prose by Am rico Paredes and Jovita Gonzalez, Rolando Hinojosa and Tom s Rivera, Estela Trambley Portillo, and Sandra Cisneros. Among the poets included in the anthology are Ricardo S nchez, Carmen Tafolla, Angela de Hoyos, and Abelardo "Lalo" Delgado. Hecho en Tejas also includes corridos from the turn of the century and verses sung by music legends such as Lydia Mendoza and Santiago Jimenez, Sr., Freddy Fender, and Selena. In addition to these established names, already known across the United States, Hecho en Tejas introduces such younger writers as Christine Granados, Erasmo Guerra, and Tonantzin Canestaro-Garcia, the famous Tejano authors of tomorrow. In assembling this canonic reader, Dagoberto Gilb has created more than an anthology. Read cover to cover, Hecho en Tejas becomes not only a literary showcase, but also a cultural and historical narrative both for those familiar with Texas Mexicans and for outsiders. Hecho en Tejas is a mosaic portrait of the community, the land and its history, its people's sorrows and joys, anger and humor and pride, what has been assimilated and what will not be., Once an independent nation, Texas has always been proud of its unique culture.
