"Seven year old Gloria shares her personal experiences celebrating centuries-old traditions while carrying on dialogue using colonial Spanish of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, English and modern Spanish. Colonial Spanish was brought over by the Sapniards in the seventeenth century, and to this day, continues to be spoken in parts of Spain. In the eighteenth century, Mexican Spanish, Náhutl indigenous language, English, Arabic, French and Zuni terms were integrated. The vernacular of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado had remained virtually untouched for centuries due to minimal exposure to modern Spanish and the remoteness of the placitas. It appears colonial Spanish and the traditions are fading. We must preserve this way of life through documentation so future generations understand and appreciate their ancestral language, history and cultural identiy. Lo que no está no paso. Colonial Spanish. If it isn't written down, it did not happen. English. Lo que no está no sucedió. Modern Spanish. Glora L. Mora." --

"The Spanish Redemption contributes an extremely important chapter to the burgeoning literature on the construction of whiteness in the United States, to our understanding of the shifting and complicated relationship between ethnicity and class, and a concrete example of how culture can be used to shape political and economic identities. With considerable dexterity and authority, with nuance and subtly, with newly utilized archival evidence, and with a glorious narrative flair, Montgomery fastidiously describes the racial politics that were played out through the cultural production of an imagined Spanish past."—Ramón Gutiérrez, author of When Jesus Came the Corn Mothers Went Away: Marriage, Sexuality, and Power in New Mexico, 1500-1846, and co-editor of Contested Eden: California Before the Gold Rush "Between the two world wars, villagers in northern New Mexico became Spanish Americans rather than Mexican Americans, and artists, writers, and boosters celebrated their previously despised arts, crafts, architecture, foods, and folkways. With probing intelligence and graceful, limpid prose, Montgomery tells the remarkable story of this shift in regional identity and its disturbing and enduring consequences. The "quaint" Hispano villages of northern New Mexico will never look the same."—David J. Weber, author of The Spanish Frontier in North America

The culture, history, and spirit of the Hispanic Southwest are brought to readers through this fascinating collection of 45 cuentos (stories and legends) from the region. From ancient creation myths of the Aztecs and traditional tales of Spanish colonialists to an eclectic sampling of the work of modern Latino storytellers, this book provides a rich tapestry of both obscure and well-loved stories-religious stories; animal tales; stories of magic, transformation, and wisdom; and chistes (short comic tales). Fifteen tales are also presented in Spanish. The origin and historical development of the stories are examined in an introductory chapter. A discussion of dichos (proverbs) and adivinanzas (riddles) illuminates the larger context of the oral tradition in which the tales have flourished. Lavishly illustrated with pictures of original paintings and sculpture by contemporary Latino artists, this fascinating collection will appeal to children and adults alike and is a must for the multicultural class
