520    Josefina Niggli (1910-1983) was one of the most successful
       Mexican American writers of the early twentieth century. 
       Born of European parents and raised in Mexico, she spent 
       most of her adult life in the United States, and in her 
       plays and novels she aimed to portray authentic Mexican 
       experiences for English-speaking audiences. Niggli crossed
       borders, cultures, and genres, and her life and work 
       prompt interesting questions about race, class, gender, 
       modernity, ethnic and national identity, and the formation
       of literary canons. Although Niggli is perhaps best known 
       for her fiction and folk plays, this anthology recovers 
       her historical dramas, most of which have been long out of
       print or were never published. These plays are deeply 
       concerned with the aftermath of the 1910 Mexican 
       Revolution, imagining its implications for Mexico, Mexican
       Americans, and U.S.-Mexico relations. Included are Mexican
       Silhouettes (1928), Singing Valley (1936), The Cry of 
       Dolores (1936), The Fair God (1936), Soldadera (1938), 
       This is Villa! (1939), and The Ring of General Macias 
       (1943). These works reflect on the making of history and 
       often portray the Revolution through the lens of women's 
       experiences. Also included in this volume are an extensive
       critical introduction to Niggli, a chronology of her life 
       and writings, plus letters and reviews by, to, and about 
       Josefina Niggli. that provide illuminating context for the
       plays. Best Books for Special Interests, selected by the
