    Crossing Cultures/Cruzando culturas focuses on the creation of literary works and how these works reflect the life experiences of the authors. The purpose of this book is to inspire young Mexican-American, Hispanic, and Latino people by demonstrating that education is the key to life through the example of authors who have become successful in spite of their modest beginnings. Their love for education and their drive to improve themselves has turned them into nationally and internationally known authors recognized by major publishing companies. Their books in English have been translated quickly into other languages. The interviews reveal not only the authors’ origins but also how they were able to overcome difficulties and challenges in their lives. The interviewed novelists include Mario Bencastro, Aristeo Brito, Rolando J. Díaz, Graciela Limón, and Demetria Martínez. Interviews conducted in English with Mexican-American writers are included in their original English version along with a proper Spanish translation. This book comprises a valuable resource for university students who are pursuing a degree in Spanish, Chicano studies, and ethnic studies that facilitates understanding the various dynamics of the Hispanic experience through literature.

El amor por la educación de estos escritores y su motivación para mejorarse los ha convertido en autores reconocidos nacionalmente e internacionalmente por las editoriales más reconocidas del mundo entero.

Their art, which is intimately related to their life experiences, draws attention to major social and political issues of our day.» (Edward Waters Hood, professor at the North Arizona University, Flagstaff) «‘Crossing Cultures’ offers a fascinating journey along the U.S. border through the work and lives of five writers straddling that line in both directions. The book offers bio-bibliographic information on the authors, in-depth personal interviews, and a significant sample of their work. Bilingual edition makes it accessible to wide range of readers. The book shows the acumen and warmth of Prof. Rhina Toruño’s personality at her best.

Para darlos a conocer, Rhina Toruño escogió como método la combinación de entrevistas y comentarios que resultan en un serio e importante texto muy ameno.» (Dr. Rima de Vallbona, Catedrática emérita, University of St. Thomas.
