"This book is best used by anthropologists and folklorists, but students in Chicano studies would find it useful as well . . . Morin's analysis of social science and literary perspectives is solid. The humanity Paredes displayed, eloquently captured by Morin, makes this book important."--Carlos F.

Synopsis
Am rico Paredes (1915-99) is one of the seminal figures in Mexican American studies. With this first book-length biography of Paredes, author Jos R. L pez Mor n offers fresh insight into the life and work of this influential scholar, as well as the close relationship between his experience and his thought. Mor n shows how Mexican literary traditions--particularly the performance contexts of oral "literature"--shaped Paredes's understanding of his people and his critique of Anglo scholars' portrayal of Mexican American history, character, and cultural expressions. Although he surveys all of Paredes's work, Mor n focuses most heavily on his masterpiece, With a Pistol in His Hand. It is in this book that Mor n sees Paredes's innovative interdisciplinary approach most effectively expressed. Dealing as he did with a people at the intersection of cultures, Paredes considered the intersection of disciplines a necessary locus for clear understanding. Mor n traces the evolution of Paredes's thought and his battles to create a legitimate home for his approach at the University of Texas. A voice for Chicano consciousness in the late 1960s and thereafter, Paredes championed Mexican American studies and encouraged a generation of scholars to consider this culture a legitimate topic for research. Urging the application of context to the understanding of oral texts, he challenged then-current methods of folklore and anthropological study in general. Paredes's name will continue to resonate in Mexican American studies, American folklore, and Anthropology, and his work will continue to be studied. Am rico Paredes: Folklorist of the Border makes a strong case for the lasting importance of Paredes's work, especially for a new generation of scholars., Américo Paredes (1915-99) is one of the seminal figures in Mexican American studies.

- 5***r (181)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOne of the best shopping experiences that I've had on ebay: thoughtful speedy communication, ultra fast shipping with careful packaging, and great price. Item came as described. Regarding the price of the CD- as I write this another seller is asking over $200 for it. Zuber's price was $35.00. How's that? I know these people have some negative reviews, but I can tell that they strive for improvement and better customer service. Highly recommended seller. Thanks Zuber!
