XX "Several years ago the publisher asked Josephina Niggli to write a book which would give an authentic picture of life in a Mexican village. Miss Niggli has done this, but she has done much more. In her ten chapters she has told ten absorbing stories, rich in setting, tense in action, and warm in their sympathy with the human comedy. The stories center in the village of Hidalgo, one of the five towns in the Sabinas Valley in northern Mexico, and the same characters appear and reappear until the life of the village is intimately known." [About the author, from Wikipedia] "JOSEFINA NIGGLI (1910-1983; birth name, Josephine) was a Mexican-born Anglo-American playwright and novelist. Writing about Mexican American issues in the middle years of the century, before the rise of the Chicano movement, she was the first and, for a time, the only Mexican American writing in English on Mexican themes; her egalitarian views of gender, race and ethnicity were progressive for their time and helped lay the groundwork for such later Chicana feminists as Gloria Anzaldúa, Ana Castillo and Sandra Cisneros. Niggli is now recognized as "a literary voice from the middle ground between Mexican and Anglo heritage." Critic Elizabeth Coonrod Martinez has written that Niggli should be considered on a par with such widely praised Spanish-language contemporaries as Mariano Azuela, Martín Luis Guzmán and Nellie Campobello. Niggli was born on July 13, 1910 in Monterrey, Nuevo León, into an expatriated Euro-American family from the U.S. Because of the Mexican Revolution, she was sent out of Mexico in 1913 and spent much of her youth between Monterrey and San Antonio, Texas. As a teenager in San Antonio, and in spite of being an Anglo, she felt that she didn't belong and wished to be back in Monterrey; these feelings formed the basis of her first book of poetry, Mexican Silhouettes, published in 1928 with the help of her father. As a student at Incarnate Word College, Niggli was prompted by her teachers to become a writer. In 1938 Niggli wrote a collection of five one-act pieces, Mexican Folk Plays, which was published by the University of North Carolina Press. Niggli was hired during World War II by NBC International to write Spanish language messages for Latin American radio. After a brief stint on the faculty at UNC Chapel Hill, she moved to Mexico to work for playwright Rodolfo Usigli at the Universidad Autónoma de Mexico. In 1945, she published a collection of her plays, Mexican Folk Plays, with a preface by Usigli. That same year, Niggli also published her first novel-in-stories, Mexican Village, about a Mexican-born American (like Niggli, but male) who must confront problems with both American and Mexican cultures when he returns to Mexico.".

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. Change was long overdue in the Carolina tobacco country when the lean, horse faced Yankee, John Slight damage to top left side of cover. Barton, called on Major Singleton to sell him an idea. It was a revolutionary idea and it would have made Singleton a fortune, but Singleton thought that Barton was some kind of Yankee joke and, appreciating a joke as much as the next man, he sent him to Brant Royle. Brant was plain no-account, the son of a half-demented itinerant peddler and preacher. It was odd that he had, even as a child, left so permanent a memory in the mind of Major Singleton's daughter, Margaret. It was perhaps equally odd that he appealed to Sonie Lipik, for Sonie was the hard-headed daughter of a Ukrainian immigrant and old Mrs. Lipik knew the value of a dollar. Sonioe however had an insatiable appetite for everything, and nothing could have been more adventurous than a duel with the grim, violent, ambitious Brant. The result was a passionate antagonism. It was John Barton's invention, but it took Brant's driving will, his hatred for the people who ruled the town, to turn a cigarette into a sprawling empire. Inevitably Brant was drawn to the proud Margaret Sngleton, the symbol of all he hated and all he desired. Inevitable too was the ensuing conflict.
