Page vii Note from Series Editors As scholars in an emerging field of literary and cultural studies, we, the editors of this series, frequently found ourselves discouraged, for our work was impeded by the lack of primary materials. We suspected that there were many more texts available than reference tools would have us believe. It soon became apparent that those materials indeed existed; they had, however, been glossed over by literary historians who either were ignorant of the existence of a strong Hispanic literary tradition in this country, or else did not deem it a legitimate entry for their histories. Because it had been produced in Spanish and, as such, remained "eccentric," it was beyond the scope of their canonical efforts. As a partial solution, we proposed to the University of New Mexico Press a series that would "offer profound recognition of the Hispano contribution to arts and letters in the region." Ours was to be a labor of recovery and dissemination. We would publish two or three titles per year and each volume would be edited and introduced by a prominent scholar in the field of Hispanic culture and literature. Since then, our plan has expanded to make room for critical and analytical texts, and we are very pleased to add Doris Meyer's book, Speaking For Themselves: Neomexicano Cultural Identity and the Spanish-Language Press, 18801920, to our growing list of publications. Meyer is indeed a pioneer in the area of "recovery" work. Her articles on the creative literature published in the Spanish-language press in New Mexico began to appear in the early seventies. At that time she was one of a handful of scholars mining this rich yet virtually untouched source of Hispanic print discourse. After a hiatus, which took her in new research directions, Meyer returned to New Mexico to continue her labor of earlier years. As she acknowledges in her Preface, newspaper research is lonely work. How fortunate we are that she endured. The fruits of her toil, gathered within the covers of this serious and intelligent text, represent a significant contribution to the field of U.S. Latino cultural studies and, specifically, to the study of the distinctive nuevomexicano cultural-aesthetic legacy.
