(Some Hispanic Americans, living today, can recall a time,...)
Some Hispanic Americans, living today, can recall a time, when barrio or ranch life was marked by simplicity and neighborliness, that has vanished with progress. These 13 first-person accounts of southern Arizona residents capture a spirit evocative of the Hispanic presence in the Southwest, while striking photographs reflect the grace and dignity of their lives.

(Songs My Mother Sang to Me collects voices not often hear...)
Songs My Mother Sang to Me collects voices not often heard and brings to print accounts of social change never previously recorded. These women document more than the details of their own lives, in relating the histories of their ancestors and communities, they add to the readers' knowledge of the culture and contributions of Mexican American people in the Southwest.

Ethnicity:
Patricia Preciado Martin is a native Arizonan. Also, she has Mexican roots.
Patricia Preciado Martin was born on July 6, 1939 in Tucson, Arizona, United States.
Patricia Preciado Martin received her early education in Tucson. She graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education with honors in 1960.
Patricia Preciado Martin began her career as a teacher at schools in the 1960's. After teaching in Riverside, California, she served in the Peace Corps in Belize, Central America, where she met and married fellow volunteer, Jim Martin. In 1969, the couple returned to Tucson, when her husband became part of Pima College. A homemaker, Patricia had her first book, a bilingual children's story, titled The Legend of the Bellringer of San Agustin, published in 1980. Later, in 1983, she published another book, Images and Conversations, that features oral histories with people, who were in their seventies and eighties at the time - sometimes the parents of these interviewees were born in Tucson before the railroad arrived in 1880, and, sometimes, they share stories of that world.
Martin has spent the last 30 years, documenting the history and culture of Mexican Americans in Arizona through her nonfiction and fiction books. She describes both urban and rural life in southwest Arizona as seen through the eyes of working-class Mexican Americans. One of her most recent books, Beloved Land: An Oral History of Mexican Americans in Southern Arizona, came out in 2004.
It's also worth noting, that, during her lifetime, Patricia served at the Speakers' Bureau of the Arizona Humanities Council for ten years.
Currently, Martin lives and works in Tucson, Arizona.
