For more than a century, Mexican American journalists used their presses to voice socio-historical concerns and to represent themselves as a determinant group of communities in Nuevo MA(c)xico, a particularly resilient corner of the Chicano homeland. This book draws on exhaustive archival research to review the history of newspapers in these communities from the arrival of the first press in the region to publication of the last edition of Santa Feas "El Nuevo Mexicano," Gabriel MelA(c)ndez details the education and formation of a generation of Spanish-language journalists who were instrumental in creating a culture of print in "nativo" communities. He then offers in-depth cultural and literary analyses of the texts produced by "los periodiqueros," establishing them thematically as precursors of the Chicano literary and political movements of the 1960s and a70s. Moving beyond a simple effort to reinscribe "Nuevomexicanos" into history, MelA(c)ndez views these newspapers as cultural productions and the work of the editors as an organized movement against cultural erasure amid the massive influx of easterners to the Southwest. Readers will find a wealth of information in this book. But more important, they will come away with the sense that the survival of "Nuevomexicanos" as a culturally and politically viable group is owed to the labor of this brilliant generation of newspapermen who also were statesmen, scholars, and creative writers.
