Condition: Very Good. xiv, 573 pages ; 25 cm ; OCLC 29844928 ; ISBN 9780151236541, 9780156001304, 0151236542, 0156001304 ; LCCN 94004327 ; LC PS508.H57 C87 1994 ; Dewey 810.8/0868 ; color pictorial stiff paper wrappers ; Collection of 135 works exploring the impact of Latino culture on American society ; There is no one culture that can be described as Latino. Yet the variegated presence of Spanish-speaking peoples in the United States - of immigrants and native born, of Native American, African, and European ancestry, of all skin colors, social classes, and religious and political affiliations, calling any number of places home - has contributed enormously to what we now know as American culture. Whereas other anthologies have focused either on a narrow grouping according to national origin or on a single literary form, Currents from the Dancing River - bringing together 135 works whose main commonality is that of quality - is the first collection of such breadth and comprehensiveness. Its variety of style and content gives the most realistic possible portrait of what Latino might mean. ; Contents Enrique Fernandez -- Salsa x 2 -- Arturo Islas -- Chiles -- Aurora Levins Morales -- Puertoricanness -- Immigrants -- Kitchens -- 1930 -- Luis Omar Salinas -- Let's Begin the Day -- Prayer to the Child of Prague -- Courtship of Darkness -- Abraham Rodriguez, Jr. -- The Lotto -- Silvia Curbelo -- Bringing Her Back -- Lunes de Revolucion -- Floating -- Rosemary Catacalos -- Paying Respects -- Taking the Air -- Ariadne Seven Years Later -- Judith Ortiz Cofer -- The Black Virgin -- The Witch's Husband -- Julio Marzan -- What We Don't Know About the Climb to Heaven -- Richard Garcia -- La Calle del Nino Perdido -- Doing the Tarantella with Lola Montez -- Open Letter to My Friends -- Rafael Campo -- A Case of Mistaken Identities: The Human Body -- Luis Alberto Urrea -- Father's Day -- Miguel Pinero -- On the Day They Buried My Mother . . . -- This Is Not the Place Where I Was Born -- Gloria Anzaldua -- Ghost Trap -- Puddles -- Juan Felipe Herrera -- The Cassettes -- Notes on Other Chicana & Chicano Inventions -- Rodney King, the Black Christ of Los Angeles and All of Our White Sins - May 1, 1992 -- Zoot Suit on a Bed of Spanish Rice -- Milagros & Angels -- Mariachi Drag Star -- Kleya Forte-Escamilla -- Adonde Vive Dios? -- Helena Maria Viramontes -- Tears on My Pillow -- Alberto Rios -- Nicanor, Saturday -- How the Mouth Works -- The Vietnam Wall -- Rosa Maria Arenas -- Mother of Shrines -- Mother of the Long Good-bye -- Mother of the Historical Tree -- Jack Agueros -- Psalm for Your Image -- Sonnet for Mars -- Sonnet for Angelo Monterosa -- Dagoberto Gilb -- Look on the Bright Side -- Marisella Vejga -- The Graduation -- Victor Martinez -- Gravity -- The Seed Must Kill -- A Letter from My Mother -- Leo Romero -- Miguelito, Miguelito -- Backward Facing Man -- Aristeo Brito -- From The Devil in Texas -- Mary Helen Ponce -- The Day Rito Died -- Gary Soto -- Black Hair -- Pat Mora -- Dear Frida -- The Itch -- Ricardo Pau-Llosa -- Seals -- Swirling Lines -- Minas de Cobre -- Ruth Warat -- Love and Hunt in the Dark Room -- Inquisitors, Dead and in Power.
