The series began in 1990, and the 11 essays in this volume are from the October 2006 Encuentros Y Reencuentros: Making Common Ground conference held in St. Louis, Missouri in collaboration with
the Western Historical Association--the first time it has partnered with historians rather than other scholars of literature. They cover history, culture, and ideology; women's voices on
gender, politics, and culture; literature and history in Amparo Ruiz de Burton; and language, representation, and translation. They are not indexed. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland,
