New Mexico. Anaya is an award-winning writer and educator whose books on
Chicano themes and the American southwest give voice to his Mexican-American heritage.

“It’s exciting to be transported into the world created by a story,” says
Rudolfo Anaya in the introduction to My Land Sings: Stories from the Rio
Grande. His book contains stories recollected from the time when Anaya was
a child during the 1940s in Pastura, New Mexico, or created later in folktale
style by Anaya himself. When he talked to his son, Anaya’s father told him
about his days as a vaquero (cowboy) herding cattle on the plains of eastern
New Mexico; Anaya’s favorite uncle related marvelous stories as well. A Growing up, Anaya failed to see any Mexican American heroes in the books
he read, however. And yet “throughout our history,” he says, “the rich
imagination of New Mexicans has been constantly at work creating new
cuentos (folktales) and passing down the old ones.” A
Anaya taught and counseled students in the multicultural public schools of Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the 1960s. Reality and fantasy blended in the boegoakns,tsohwortitsetoforirecsh,ialdnrdepnoaenmdsaadbuoltus.tHMiesxfircsatnnAomveel,riBclaenssMthea,tUhlteimlaate,r

wise in the ways of healing. Since then, Anaya’s books have earned him many
awards, and some people consider him to be the father of Mexican American literature. B
