 TENGO SED by James Fleming is the winner of the 2011 PEN Center USA Literary Award for Fiction.
The Trauma ICU of a Level 1 trauma center is the setting for this thought-provoking novel, which reveals the ruthlessness of medical education and practice as Fleming recounts a day in the life of a resident in emergency medicine at an urban teaching hospital.
In narrative poems that take us back to New Mexico during the nineteenth century, Renny Golden resurrects the spirits of native people and of those who came West.

THE WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT AND FEMINISM IN ARGENTINA FROM ROCA TO PERÓN by Gregory Hammond Providing an overview of the women's suffrage movement from its earliest stages through the passage of the 1947 law, this study examines what Argentina's history can tell us about the moment when a society agrees to the equal participation of women in the political realm.
