Caballero: A Historical Novel | Jovita González Mireles, Eve Raleigh, José Eduardo Limón, María Eugenia Cotera
1 post | 1 to read
Jovita Gonzalez and Eve Raleigh's Caballero: A Historical Novel, a milestone in Mexican-American and Texas literature written during the 1930s and 1940s, centers on a mid-nineteenth-century Mexican landowner and his family living in the heart of southern Texas during a time of tumultuous change. After covering the American military occupation of South Texas, the story involves the reader in romances between two young lovers from opposing sides during the military conflict of the U.S.-Mexico War. Caballero's young protagonists fall in love but face struggles with race, class, gender and sexual contradictions. An introduction by Jose E. Limon, epilogue by Maria Cotera, and foreword by Thomas H. Kreneck offer a clear picture of the importance of the work to the study of Mexican-American and Texas history and to the feminist critique of culture. This work, long lost in a collection of private papers and unavailable until now, serves as a literary ethnography of South Texas-Mexican folklore customs and traditions.

I found Litsy yesterday and decided it is now my favorite social media. I don't usually post a lot about what all I'm reading on other sites, which is why I'm more that excited to have a space dedicated solely for that purpose. I'll be posting what I'm reading, my bookshelves, book hauls (a lot of book hauls), what I want to read, and since it's November some posts of my struggling through NaNoWriMo. 📚💫âœðŸ¼ðŸ’›
