Los Angeles: UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, 2012. Soft cover. New/No Jacket. Hernández, Judithe. With these one hundred poems Alurista created a highly original poetics that upset the literary conventions of the era. Floricanto en Aztlán was first published in 1971, at the height of the Chicano Movement. In this groundbreaking work Alurista presented a new and essentially Chicano poetic language that is part Spanish and part English, with references to the indigenous languages of Mexico. Using Aztlán, the mythical homeland of the Aztecs, as a unifying metaphor and employing indigenous symbols to describe barrio life, the poet inspired his readers, cultivating pride in their cultural past. In these poems Alurista calls on la raza to celebrate their heritage and to find their political voice. The prints by Judithe Hernández create a dialogue with Alurista¿s work by depicting poetic references to ancient cosmology and contemporary oppression. This new edition of Floricanto en Aztlán, Alurista¿s first book of poetry, includes a new preface by the poet. Alurista (Alberto Baltazar Urista Heredia) lives and works in National City, California. He holds a PhD in Spanish and Latin American literature from the University of California in San Diego. The author of ten books, his most recent book of poetry is Tunaluna (Aztlán Libre Press, 2010). Judithe Hernández is a graduate of the Otis College of Art and Design. In 2011 her work was featured in a solo show at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago and in three of the Getty¿s Pacific Standard Time exhibitions in Los Angeles. She resides in Los Angeles. 15 illustrations., UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, 2012, 6, New York: Hyperion, 2001. Inspiration and Wisdom From One of Baseball's Greatest Heroes.

"The author's experiences as a platoon commander in the Second World War were shared by many others but few published accounts capture so faithfully the particular flavour of that conflict or the impact of battle on the individual soldier. Norman Craig was a conscript, commissioned after a year in the ranks. He served in three infantry regiments: the Welch in the United Kingdom; the Royal Sussex in the Western Desert, and Iraq and Persia; and the East Surreys in Italy. He saw action at El Alamein and in northern Italy where, only a fortnight before the end of the war in Europe, he was wounded. Between these spells of fighting he was concerned with the routine of soldiering - training, parades, courses, inspections and regimental chores - which occupied the greater part of of a subaltern's time. Norman Craig writes perceptively and with unusual candour about his war service. His book is both a personal record of considerable human interest and a significant addition to the literature of the Second World War." Minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has minor edge wear/wrinkling, minor soiling on front flap.. Hard Cover. Very Good+/Very Good+. Illus. by Charles Freeman drawings.., Imperial War Museum, 1982, 3<
