Today we discuss Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya. This is one of the first books of Chicano/a Literature, with Rudolfo Anaya considered one of the founders of the literary movement. It's a coming-of-age story that weaves Catholicism with traditional and indigenous beliefs, and the duality of identity that Antonio, the main character, experiences.

Today on Sojourner Truth: We remember and honor Rudolfo Anaya, one of the most influential figures in Chicano literature. He died on June 28, 2020, at his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His first novel, Bless Me Ultima, has since become one of the most widely read Chicano novels and was later made into a film. He is also the author of Heart of Atzlan (1976), Tortuga (1979), Lord of the Dawn (1987), and Albuquerque (1992), among others. He also wrote non-fiction essays, poems and children's books. Several of his books have also been adapted into operas and plays. He has received over 20 prestigious awards for his work, including the NEA National Medal of Arts Lifetime Honor, 2001 and the National Humanities Medal in 2015, delivered by former President Barack Obama. In early 2005, Superintendent Bob Conder of the Norwood School District in Grand Junction, Colorado, had banned Bless Me, Ultima after a group of parents objected to its contents. Condor had not read it, but claimed he had read enough to make the decision on the basis of the themes presented. Copies were removed from English classes at the school. The decision to ban Rodolfo's book was part of the attack on ethnic and Chicano studies across the U.S., especially in the Southwest. In protest of the decision, on February 5, 2005, students at Norwood School District formed a sit-in while reading passages from the middle of the school gymnasium. They had shirts with handwritten designs of Bless Me, Ultima on them. School officials in Texas, California, New York and Missouri also attempted to censor the book. Within the last 10 years, the growth of ethnic studies has gained traction in K-12 schools, partly in response to an Arizona law that banned the curriculum. Our guests are Sarita Sol Gonzalez, Manuel Gonzalez and Jacob Chavez.

Notes:The Verbivore mentions multicultural books towards the early part of the conversation. In thise case, she means both multicultural (reflecting several viewpoints) and diverse (reflecting one diverse viewpoint) books.Both Fable and the Verbivore mention being highly sensitive readers. What we mean by this is the psychological definition of a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).The website Web Writers Spotlight has a great article that further discusses why reading widely is important. Here is that link.If you are looking for some recommendations on new reads, here are a couple places to start:https://ideas.ted.com/62-great-books-by-black-authors-recommended-by-ted-speakers/https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/bipochttps://chireviewofbooks.com/2019/11/18/22-books-by-indigenous-writers-to-read-right-now/Books Mentioned:I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya AngelouKindred by Octavia ButlerBeloved by Toni MorrisonThe Bluest Eye by Toni MorrisonThe Grace Years by Kim LiggettPoinsettia by Marlene S.

Our new tradition, on the Bedrosian Bookclub, is to read a witchy book for the month of October. This year ...  We're taking a look at the coming of age novel, Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya. This is the story of Antonio Marez, a six year old boy caught between his Father's love of travel, his mother's desire he become a priest, the town (modernity), and the farmland of the llano (tradition). Then a magical elder, a curandera (a healer who uses herbs and magic) comes to live with the family. She mentors the young boy as he begins to seek a better sense of himself in the world. Host Lisa Schweitzer, joined by Caroline Bhalla, Aubrey Hicks, and Stacy Patterson (EML '12) find many themes to discuss in this novel set at the end of World War II in a small New Mexican community. Read along with us! Let us know what you think of the book & our podcasts on Facebook or Twitter.
