The very first winner of the Chicano / Latino Literary Prize in 1974, Ron AriasÍ ñThe Wetbackî uses dark humor to reflect on the appearance of a dead brown man in their midst. This landmark collection of prize-winning fiction, poetry, and drama paints a historical and aesthetic panorama of Chicana/o and Latina/o letters over a twenty-five-year period beginning in 1974 and ending in 1999. Most, but not all, of the winning entries are featured in this anthology, which also includes second- and third-place winners, as well as honorable mentions. Now entering its thirty-first year, the award has recognized a wide variety of writers, from established ones such as Juan Felipe Herrera, Michael Nava, and Helena Maria Viramontes, to those that are lesser known. Many of the pieces in this anthology are considered to be foundational texts of Chicana/o and Latina/o literature, and those that are not as widely recognized deserve more serious study and attention. Presented in chronological order, the selected writings are primarily in English, although some are written in Spanish, and others in Spanglish. Some, like Francisco X. AlarconÍs poem ñRaices / Roots,î appear in both languages: ñMis raices / las cargo / siempre / conmigo / enrolladas / me sirven / de almohada.î ñI carry / my roots / with me / all the time / rolled up / I use them / as my pillow.î In addition to the diverse array of authors, styles, and genres, the works included in this collection cover a wide range of themes, from more political issues of ethnic, gender, and class.

Download or read book God Jesus and the Bible written by William Harwood and published by World Audience, Incorporated. This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God, Jesus, and the Bible is a comprehensive history of the origins and development of the Jewish and Christian religions. It traces the origin of the "god" concept, the evolution of monotheism, the development of Judaism through the first century CE, and the evolution of Christianity. God, Jesus, and the Bible utilizes the methodology of history, in which, as in every scientific discipline, conclusions must conform to the evidence, not the methodology of theology, in which evidence is manipulated to whatever degree is necessary in order to make it conform to predetermined conclusions. God, Jesus, and the Bible falsifies religion as totally and permanently as the first photographs of the Martian surface falsified the "canals" myth.
