Title
The Borderlands Of Culture: Americo Paredes And The Transnational Imaginary (New Americanists),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Poet, novelist, journalist, and ethnographer, Amrico Paredes (19151999) was a pioneering figure in Mexican American border studies and a founder of Chicano studies. Paredes taught literature and anthropology at the University of Texas, Austin for decades, and his ethnographic and literary critical work laid the groundwork for subsequent scholarship on the folktales, legends, and riddles of Mexican Americans. In this beautifully written literary history, the distinguished scholar Ramn Saldvar establishes Paredess preeminent place in writing the contested cultural history of the south Texas borderlands. At the same time, Saldvar reveals Paredes as a precursor to the new American cultural studies by showing how he perceptively negotiated the contradictions between the national and transnational forces at work in the Americas in the nascent era of globalization.Saldvar demonstrates how Paredess poetry, prose, and journalism prefigured his later work as a folklorist and ethnographer. In song, story, and poetry, Paredes first developed the themes and issues that would be central to his celebrated later work on the border studies or anthropology of the borderlands. Saldvar describes how Paredess experiences as an American soldier, journalist, and humanitarian aid worker in Asia shaped his understanding of the relations between Anglos and Mexicans in the borderlands of south Texas and of national and ethnic identities more broadly. Saldvar was a friend of Paredes, and part of The Borderlands of Culture is told in Paredess own words. By explaining how Paredess work engaged with issues central to contemporary scholarship, Saldvar extends Paredess intellectual project and shows how it contributes to the remapping of the field of American studies from a transnational perspective.
