As a former bookseller, I can't help but return to the market in scenario s such as this one. Perhaps many publishers perceive Latino topics as too politicized in the current climate?

I am a Texan, and must rely on small independent publi shers like Cinco Puntos who can't always afford to keep books in print, and who have a relatively small output. I look forward to the thoughts of other list members. Caroline
