Chicano Studies
The Genesis of a Discipline
The University of Arizona Press
Part intellectual history, part social criticism, and part personal meditation, Chicano Studies attempts to make sense of the collision (and occasional wreckage) of politics, culture, scholarship, ideology, and philosophy that created a new academic discipline. Along the way, it identifies a remarkable cast of scholars and administrators who added considerable zest to the drama.

Revolutionary Parks
Conservation, Social Justice, and Mexico’s National Parks, 1910–1940
By Emily Wakild
The University of Arizona Press
Revolutionary Parks tells the surprising story of how forty national parks were created in Mexico during the latter stages of the first social revolution of the twentieth century. What emerges in Emily Wakild’s deft inquiry is the story of a nature protection program that takes into account the history, society, and culture of the times. Wakild employs case studies of four parks to show how the revolutionary momentum coalesced to create early environmentalism in Mexico.
Mario Vargas Llosa
Public Intellectual in Neoliberal Latin America
The University of Arizona Press
Mario Vargas Llosa has enjoyed considerable influence in the political arena, thanks in no small part to his run for the Peruvian presidency in 1990. Though he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2010 for his literary achievements, he is as well known in the Spanish-speaking world for his political columns as his novels. In his widely syndicated columns, Vargas Llosa asserts a “liberal” position, in the classical sense of affirming the importance of a free market and individual rights, though he has often aligned himself with groups that emphasize the former at the expense of the latter. While his early literary output seemed to proclaim an allegiance with the Left, Vargas Llosa took a right turn that Juan E. De Castro argues was anticipatory and representative of the Latin American embrace of the free market in the 1990s. Thus, Vargas Llosa’s political thought provides a key for understanding social and cultural shifts that have taken place throughout Latin America.

We Are Our Language
The University of Arizona Press
In presenting the case of Kaska, an endangered language in an Athapascan community in the Yukon, Barbra Meek asserts that language revitalization requires more than just linguistic rehabilitation; it demands a social transformation. The process must mend rips and tears in the social fabric of the language community that result from an enduring colonial history.
