Anglo Americans, Mexicans
and Mexican Americans.
Rodriguez, who analyzes
dime novels, accounts from
the front, Mexican American
writings and other popular
writings about the war, says
historical awareness of the
war and its effects lies at
the center of modern cul-
tural issues, such as anxieties
about Mexican immigration
or concern for recognition
among Mexican Americans.
His book is the first major
comparative study to analyze
key Mexican war texts and
their impact on Mexico's
national identity.

Ricardo Rozzi, associate

This combination bird
guide and cultural ethnog-
raphy contains entries on
50 bird species of southern
Chile and Argentina, such as
the rufous-legged owl, giant
hummingbird and Andean
condor, as well as indigenous
accounts of the birds in his-
tory and folklore.

and Mapuche people ofthe area have handed down
bird stories for hundreds of
years. Accompanying the
book are two audio CDs of
bird narratives translated
from interviews with elders,
birdcalls and pronunciations
of the birds' names in four
languages.
8 \\ Quicksand: America's
Pursuit of Power in the
Middle East
(P(nurlliPn P ss)
Geoffrey Wawro, the
Maj. Gen. Olinto Mark
Barsanti Chair in Military
History and director of the
Military History Center
Wawro traces the United
States' involvement in the
Middle East over the last 100
years, covering events such as
the establishment of Israel,
the death of Anwar Sadat,
the energy crisis, the current
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
and the rise of Al-Qaeda.
Approaching America's
role in the Middle East in
a new way, Wawro covers
the last century of the entire
region rather than focusing
on a particular country or
era. He drew from archives
in the United States and
Europe and traveled the
Middle East for new insights
into what shaped some of
the century's most tumultu-
ous events. Drawing parallels
between the past and the
present, he concludes that
the U.S. continues to repeat
mistakes in the region.-I 0 -
