Produktinformationen zu „Rio Grande/Rio Bravo: Borderlands Culture and Traditions: Legacy of Americo Paredes (PDF)“
Amrico Paredes (191599) is one of the seminal figures in Mexican American studies. With this first book-length biography of Paredes, author Jos R. Lpez Morn offers fresh insight into the life and work of this influential scholar, as well as the close relationship between his experience and his thought.Morn shows how Mexican literary traditionsparticularly the performance contexts of oral literatureshaped Paredess understanding of his people and his critique of Anglo scholars portrayal of Mexican American history, character, and cultural expressions.Although he surveys all of Paredess work, Morn focuses most heavily on his masterpiece, With a Pistol in His Hand. It is in this book that Morn sees Paredess 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. Morn traces the evolution of Paredess 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.Paredess name will continue to resonate in Mexican American studies, American folklore, and Anthropology, and his work will continue to be studied. Amrico Paredes: Folklorist of the Border makes a strong case for the lasting importance of Paredess work, especially for a new generation of scholars.
