In her ode to ñThe Umbrella,î Viola Canales remembers a family story about her mother, who every Saturday as a child ñpopped open her prized childÍs bright umbrella / as did her little sister / and followed their motherÍs adult one / from their Paloma barrio home / to downtown Main Street McAllen / walking like ducks in a row / street after street,î until one Saturday ñthe littlest one disappeared / inside the wilderness of WoolworthÍs.î Warm-hearted recollections of family members are woven through this collection of 54 poems, in English and Spanish, which uses the images from loterÕa cards to pay homage to small-town, Mexican-American life along the Texas-Mexico border. Cultural traditions permeate these verses, from the curanderas who cure every affliction to the daily ritual of the afternoon merienda, or snack of sweetbreads and hot chocolate. The communityÍs Catholic tradition is ever-present; holy days, customs and saints are staples of daily life. San MartÕn de Porres, or ñEl Negrito,î was her grandmotherÍs favorite saint, ñfor although she was pale too / sheÍd lived through the vestiges of the Mexican war / the loss of land, culture, language, and control / and it was El Negrito to whom she turned for hopeî to bring enemies together. Fond childhood memories of climbing mesquite trees and eating raspas are juxtaposed with an awareness of the disdain with which Mexican Americans are regarded. Texas museums, just like its textbooks, feature cowboy boots worn by Texas Rangers, but have no ñclue or sign of the vaqueros, the original cowboys / or the Tejas, the native Indians there.î And some childhood memories arenÍt so happy. In ñThe Hand,î she writes: ñIn the morning I arrived at my first-grade class / knowing no English / at noon I got smacked by the teacher / for speaking Spanish outside, in the playground.î Inspired by the archetypes found in the Mexican bingo game called loterÕa, these poems reflect the historyof family, culture and warrooted in the Southwest for hundreds of years.

In A Sentimental Education for the Working Man Robert Buffington reconstructs the complex, shifting, and contradictory ideas about working-class masculinity in early twentieth-century Mexico City. He argues that from 1900 to 1910, the capital’s satirical penny press provided working-class readers with alternative masculine scripts that were more realistic about their lives, more responsive to their concerns, and more representative of their culture than anything proposed by elite social reformers and Porfirian officials. The penny press shared elite concerns about the destructive vices of working-class men, and urged them to be devoted husbands, responsible citizens, and diligent workers; but it also used biting satire to recast negative portrayals of working-class masculinity and to overturn established social hierarchies. In this challenge to the "macho" stereotype of working-class Mexican men, Buffington shows how the penny press contributed to the formation of working-class consciousness, facilitated the imagining of a Mexican national community, and validated working-class men as modern citizens.
