The Latino Reader: An American Literary Tradition from 1542 to the Present Paperback – March 26, 1997

Page 137
Latino literature is generally regarded as a twentieth-century phenomenon; beginning in the 1960s, Chicano and Puerto Rican authors, then Cuban Americans and more recent Latino arrivals, have produced a substantial and impressive body of writing. While writers in Latin America were establishing what has been called the “boom” of Latin American narrative, their U.S. counterparts were forging a distinct tradition in poetry, drama, and fiction in their own voices. What this anthology hopes to demonstrate, however, is that the spectacular flowering of U.S. Latino letters from the 1960s onward grew from seeds carefully and painstakingly sown by their writers. Their lonely efforts often went unrecognized by mainstream critics as well as younger Latino authors, who were frequently unaware of their existence.

similarly（高亮，有考题，问你这个similarly的作用，有迷惑选项说 说明2个拉美文学作者都是因为是拉美裔的才被人埋没的，其实不是的，没有关于第一个女人的出身信息。我选了，2个人的contribution都被低估了）

A case in point is the The Rebel by Leonor Villegas de Magnon. The work is based on the author’s fascinating experiences as the founder of a nursing corps that attended to the revolutionary forces in the Texas/Mexican border region during the Mexican Revolution. Frustrated in her attempts to have the novel published in Spanish in the 1920s, Villegas De Magnon later wrote a version in English in the 1940s, but it met a similar fate. Thanks to the efforts of contemporary scholars and the foresight of editors dedicated to promoting Latino literature, the novel was finally published in 1994. It stands as another challenge to the stereotypical misconceptions regarding Mexican Americans, particularly women, of that era. Similarly, for decades the poet William Carlos Williams was not included in the sphere of U.S. Latino culture due to the lack of appreciation of his profound Puerto Rican and Spanish-American roots. Recent scholarly research, however, has demonstrated that this important precursor of modern American poetry is truly worthy of this distinction; his poetic sensibilities have been shown to reflect a more hemispheric/New World application of the term “American.”

What was not explored in any depth until Julio Marzan’s ground-breaking study The Spanish American Roots of Williams Carlos Williams (1994) is the profoundly Latin American origin of Williams’s poetry, which was influenced in great measure by his parent, particularly his mother. His American vision cannot be totally appreciated without an understanding of the wide variety of cultural sources that informed his work. His upbringing as a bilingual, bicultural child and his lifelong ambivalence word his cultural origins reflect the feelings of many children of immigrants in the United States. Commenting on Williams’s need to “possess” America due to his “mixed ancestry,” Marzan observes the following: “Here Williams was discussing In the American Grain and, as in that book, the ‘America’ in question is not narrowly the United States, but the hemispheric America that Columbus stumbled onto. Elena’s being from Puerto Rico, one of the sites where Columbus is believed to have actually set foot, and from a Spanish-speaking line that mingled its blood  with the continent, made that ‘America’ Williams’ legacy. He was an American and a ‘pure product of America’ because his mother was Puerto Rican.”

第一段：选择越多越容易做决策。但是研究发现（此处有人名，提到了心理phycological）当选择过多的时候excess options，人们往往很难做决定。实验：让人们从很少数量的jam中选择，没有困难；然而，实验结果表明在6种jam种选择的可能性是在24种jam种选择的10倍（考题问哪个选项削弱这个证据的说服力，卤煮选择了E:消费者对6种jam中的某种熟悉但是从来没用过24种里面的）……

It all began with jam. In 2000, psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper published a remarkable study. On one day, shoppers at an upscale food market saw a display table with 24 varieties of gourmet jam. Those who sampled the spreads received a coupon for $1 off any jam. On another day, shoppers saw a similar table, except that only six varieties of the jam were on display. The large display attracted more interest than the small one. But when the time came to purchase, people who saw the large display were one-tenth as likely to buy as people who saw the small display.

Other studies have confirmed this result that more choice is not always better. As the variety of snacks, soft drinks, and beers offered at convenience stores increases, for instance, sales volume and customer satisfaction decrease. Moreover, as the number of retirement investment options available to employees increases, the chance that they will choose any decreases. These studies and others have shown not only that excessive choice can produce “choice paralysis,” but also that it can reduce people’s satisfaction with their decisions, even if they made good ones. My colleagues and I have found that increased choice decreases satisfaction with matters as trivial as ice cream flavors and as significant as jobs.
