Dr.
Vázquez was born in Guadalajara, Mexico and educated in the
United States. His mother was born in Colorado and his father in
Jalisco, Mexico and he has traveled between the two countries and
the two cultures since the age of five. After going through an ESL
program in San Pedro, California he attended Phineas Banning High
School from which he graduated with honors. He then entered Claremont
Men's College (now McKenna) where he received a B.A. in philosophy
and continued his studies at the Claremont Graduate School where
he was awarded a Doctorate in European Intellectual History.After teaching and doing administrative work at the Claremont Colleges, he accepted the position of Chair of the Chicano Studies Department at Loyola Marymont University in Los Angeles. Four years later he was offered a position at a World College West (a private college in Petaluma) to direct the World Study and Mexico Program. This teaching position entailed living in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico in the Fall and Winter, and in Petaluma in the Spring, supervising a group of students doing language study and field research. During this time he established close relationships with the P'urhepecha people of Michoacan (also known as Tarascans).
After six years of changing realities every six months, especially after
the birth of his daughter Sofia Erendira, he and his wife Rosa Maria decided
to settle in Sonoma County. Starting at Sonoma State University in the
fall of 1989, Dr. Vázquez has taught in the Departments of Mexican
American Studies, History, English and in the Hutchins School of Liberal
Studies. Presently he is a tenured Professor in the Hutchins School of
Liberal Studies and faculty advisor of the Student Congress.

Latino/a Thought brings together the most important writings that shape Latino consciousness, culture, and activism today. This historical anthology is unique in its presentation of cross cultural writings--especially from Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban writers and political documents--that shape the ideology and experience of U.S. Latinos. No other book offers readers such a rich history of the Latino heritage--experienced in this book in the voices and political actions whose influence reached across generations. More information on my book can be found through the Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. |
