Furthermore, Hispanic Immigrant Literature: El Sueno del Retorno brings to the forefront the works of several hitherto understudied and/or over-looked texts (especially those written by women) with careful and insightful literary analysis...In this sense, Kanellos' work is a welcome contribution to the increasing corpus of critical/theoretical studies in the field of Latino(a) literature. --Carmen Haydee Rivera, Latino(a) Research Review By winning the 2011 PEN Southwest Book Award for non-fiction, this book is finally getting the attention it deserves. Hispanic Immigrant Literature challenges the existing paradigms and sheds new light on an important and timely topic: the Latino psyche. --Octavio Quintanilla, Southwestern American Literature This volume is the latest installment in a long list of contributions that Nicolas Kanellos has made to the history and understanding of Hispanic literatures in the United States.
