Preface by Maria Herrera-Sobek (page xiv): I began to see a direct connection between colonial literary writings and contemporary Chicano literature. It seems to me that his literary tradition dates back to the period of settlement and colonization. This was not necessarily a new idea. The Chicano critic Philip Ortego initially posed the notion in 1971 in his article The Chicano Renaissance, published in La Causa Chicana: The Movement for Justice (1971, p. 43) in which he comments that
the literary period from the founding of the permanent British settlement in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607 to the formation of the American union represents only the British period of American literature. So, too, the literary period from the first permanent Spanish settlement at Saint Augustine, Florida, in 1565, to the dates of acquisition of those Spanish and Mexican lands by the United States should, in fact, represent the Hispanic period of American literature More appropriately, the British and Spanish periods should both be listed under the rubric Colonial American Literature.

Discontinuous Continuities: Remapping the Terrain of Spanish Colonial Narrative by Genaro Padilla (page 34): On discovering the contradiction in the practice of American literary history, Philip Ortego was quick to point out that recovering and reinstalling lost minority texts will be nothing new to mainstream literary scholars. Of one canonic monument he writes:
The English epic Beowulf found no mention in English literature until an antiquary published a garbled summary in 1707; no English translation was made until 1837. Yet we do not introduce Beowulf into English histories as literature of the 18 th or 19th centuries. It is discussed as the beginning, the source materials. (Backgrounds of Mexican American Literature , University of New Mexico, 1971, 22).

A Franciscan Mission Manual: The Discourse of Power and Social Organization by Tino Villanueva (page 37: History tells us that the first permanent Spanish settlement in what was later to become the United States of America was established in Saint Augustine, Florida, in 1565. History likewise records that the first British colony was not established until the beginning of the seventeenth century in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. It was precisely these dates and historical events that Philip Ortego used in 1971 to postulate a radically new thesis regarding the literary history of the United States: if the literature written in the thirteen colonies by British authors before 1776 forms the roots of American literature, then it should follow that the literature from the Spanish (and Mexican) colonial period in the Southwest written before 1848 should be considered the beginnings of Chicano literature. Ortego further suggested that in literary anthologies both periods of colonization, the Spanish and the British, should appear under the heading North American Colonial Literature (The Chicano Renaissance, in La Causa Chicana: The Movement for Justice, ed. Margaret M. Mangold, New York: Family Service Association of America, 1971, 43). Twenty years have passed since Ortego first made these statements, but his perceptive assertions have not been altogether heeded . . . the period that is almost always left out is still the Spanish colonial period, in spite of Ortegos convincing revisionist observation regarding the origins of Chicano and Anglo American literature. Cited in Decolonial Voices: Chicana and Chicano Studies in the 21 st Century edited by Arturo J. Aldama and Naomi Helena Quiones: Indiana University Press, 2002. Re(writing) the Chicana Postcolonial: From Traitor to 21 st Century Interpreter by Naomi Helena Quiones: While I was a student at California State College-Los Angeles, poetry provided me the strength to accept the consequences of my new life. I became involved in community volunteer programs such as Head Start, joined protest marches and rallies, and embraced the term Chicana. Later, as a student at San Jose State University, community activism shaped and informed my muse. I joined the United Farmworkers Union boycott, initiated an Ethnic Pride volunteer program for students, and taught remedial skills at the Neighborhood Youth Corpsa War on Poverty program. I also attended MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) meetings and argued with my peers about cultural nationalism and Marxist Leninism. I embraced a Chicano identity while questioning the marginalization of women from the Chicano Movement, which, in turn, aided me in understanding the importance and necessity of feminism. All during this time, I wrote and wrote. Majoring in English and journalism I applied my skills to writing about Chicano issues. My interest in journalism led to a job reporting for the Model Cities Programanother War on Poverty organization. But poetry was the expression that came most natu rally. A turning point in my life occurred when I took a Chicano literature class with Dr. Felipe de Ortego y Gasca at San Jose State University in 1973. After I shared with him a sampling of my poetry, he encouraged me to write more. He became my first editor and an invaluable supporter of my art. Later in the semester, he organized a Chicano issues conference, Cantos y Gritos de Mi Liberacin, named after a book by Ricardo Snchez. Ortego invited me to recite poetry at the conference and I refused, scared to death of airing my personal thoughts in public. He coaxed me to no avail and then gently backed off. Two weeks later, a friend of mine excitedly waved a program for that conference at me, and pointed to my name. I was outraged! How dare Ortego include me when I had so adamantly refused? I marched to his office, where he explained that he hoped that I would change my

30

mind. However, if I did not want to take the responsibility of sharing my art for the sake of the struggle, he understood perfectly and would not press me. Shrewdly, Ortego managed to coax me into reciting at the conference, which I did, knees knocking and sweat pouring, for a full twenty minutes. The response was overwhelmingly positive and I have been reciting poetry ever since. I had no idea at that time that I was part of an entire generation of Chicana writers cresting on the cultural wave the Chicano Movement generated.

In his dissertation Backgrounds of Mexican American Literature (1971), Felipe Ortego exemplifies the first comprehensive and encyclopedic treatment of Chicano literature (p. 73). Cited in When We Return: A New Literary History of Mexican America by Jos F Aranda, Jr., University of Arizona Press (2003). As a very early essay (1971) by Philip D. Ortego notes, the Civil rights Movement sparked and nurtured a desire to read the writers of ones own ethnic heritage: in recent years thee has been an increasing social and political consciousness, leading to demands for reformation of the socioeconomic structure that has kept Mexican Americans subordinated these many years. With this increasing social and political consciousness has come the awareness of their artistic and literary heritage. Throughout the Southwest the sleeping Mexican-American giant has begun to flex his dormant muscles. As this literary flexing continued into the 1970s, Ortego envisioned Chicano/a literature as widening its readership from its ethnic base to a larger mainstream audience. In fact, he foresaw what would become by the 1990s, a whole industry from editors to academic scholarship, redefining American literature as a fabric woven not exclusively on the Atlantic frontier by the descendants of New England Puritans and Southern Cavaliers (295).In his view, the Chicano Renaissance of the 1960s can be appreciated for its political literary dismantling of Puritan colonial past. Ortego imagined the day this politically awakened ethnic group would participate more directly in the nationalist revisions of American literature and culture. Ortegos generation of Chicano/a scholars thus fashioned a literary history faithful to a broad Chicano social politic. Along the way, though, they made aesthetic choices that represented a conflict in their resistance to the mainstream canon. As Ortego points out in The Chicano Renaissance, for Chicanos/as the challenge of dislodging the preeminence of a Puritan experience is the challenge of rewriting history. Entailed in that revision is a pronounced confidence that an ethnic literary history will complement the general movement for civil rights. By its sheer reintroduction into historical consciousness, a Chicano literary history will make clear the terms of oppression that have afflicted American citizens of Mexican American descent.

BACKGROUNDS OF MEXICAN AMERICAN LITERATURE


Philip Darragh Ortego, Ph.D., The University of New Mexico, 1971 This study attempts to define the heretofore amorphous body of Mexican American literature as well as providing an understanding of what American literature should have been: that is, a literary fabric not exclusively woven on the Atlantic frontier by the descendants of New England Puritans and Southern Cavaliers, but one woven in the American Southwest as well, 32

and with marvelous Hispanic threads which reach back not only to the literary heritage of the European continent but also the very heart of the Graeco-Roman world. Like the British roots in the new American soil, the Hispanic literary roots have yielded a vigorous and dynamic body of literature which unfortunately has been studied historically as part of a foreign enterprise rather than as part and parcel of our American literary heritage. Thus, Hispanic works dealing with the Southern and Southwestern part of the United States have in fact become the neglected aspect of American literature. The implication here is that such works are not properly within the traditional Anglo American definition of American literature since most of the works were written in Spanish. Consequently, those works have been neglected save as special studies of the Southwest. This neglect has produced unfortunate literary consequences for Mexican Americans, for they have come to see themselves and their Mexican kinsmen portrayed in our national literature in terms of racial cliches and caricatures. This study, then examines the development of contemporary Mexican American literature in terms of the people, their history, and their struggles as the second largest ethnic minority in the United States. In truth, in order to be fully comprehended the ethnic phenomenon of Mexican Americans since World War II must be seen in the more personal contact of their literature. Indeed, Mexican Americans--approximately ten million of them--have a rich literary heritage. Unfortunately, few of them are aware of its existence as an organic body. For a people whose origins antedate the establishment of Jamestown by well over a century (and more, counting their Indian ancestry), this bespeaks a shameful and tragic negligence. The shame and tragedy are compounded when Mexican American youngsters learn about their Puritan forebears at the expense of their Hispanic forebears about whom they have as much right--if not more--to be proud. Instead, Mexican American youngsters read of the cruelty of the Spaniard towards the Indians, of the Spaniards greed for gold, of the infamous Spanish, always Spanish, Inquisition, of Mexican bandits, and of the massacre of the Alamo. They seldom if ever learn that alongside the famous men at the Alamo there were other men, unknown and unsung heroes of American history, killed in the same battle and fighting on the Texas side, men like Juan Abamillo, Juan Badillo, Carlos Espalier, Gregorio Esparza, Antonio Fuentes, Jose Maria Guerrero, Toribio Losoya, Andres Nava, and others. Mexican Americans have contributed to American literature in substantial measure as this study attempts to show by that contribution from the earliest Hispanic works written in the Southwest to the Chicano Renaissance of the 1960s.
