Well, the book is out. El sol de Texas by Conrado Espinosa has been republished for the first time since 1926 when it was published by Viola Company in San Antonio, Texas. The book is an amazing novel which catalogues the experiences of two mexicano migrant families in the first half of the twentieth century in Texas as they travel from Mexico to La Plaza del Zacate in San Antonio, across small Texas towns like Wharton and Victoria and all the way to the oil refineries in Port Arthur, all the while working in the agricultural fields and on the railroad tracks. I wrote an introduction for the book (en inglés y en español) that provides an initial historical and literary analysis.
The book has been republished by the Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage Project through Arte Publico Press. Get a copy through from Arte Publico or from an independent bookstore like Powell's. Check it out!
