Starting the Conversation: Daniel A. Olivas's "Things We Do Not Talk About"
by Madison Cappuccio
"I learned that a short story is like a poem: each word, every sentence, has to matter."
In his collection, Things We Do Not Talk About: Exploring Latino/a Literature Through Essays and Interviews, readers follow Daniel A. Olivas down the rabbit hole that is the empowering process of writing; they also get to witness Olivas's becoming as a Latina/o/x author. The experiences of twenty-eight esteemed authors, including Salvador Plascencia, Gustavo Arellano, and Reyna Grande, are documented through enlightening interviews that are quintessential for new writers. Through these essays and interviews, Olivas invites his audience to travel in time--readers encounter the roots of Chicano culture and the oppressive stigmas that have inhibited the welcoming of Mexican-American excellence in writing and beyond. The author calls upon Latino creatives to use the power of language to initiate widespread Chicano representation and breakdown America's wall of bigotry. Olivas's sharing of stories, coupled with his expertise in law and literature, encourages readers to examine the relationship between justice and reality. You will be tasked with the challenge of opening your eyes to a mirror of stories that reflect the ugly truth of living in a blind society. Join the Revolution / Únete a la revolución and learn more about the movement supporting the Latino community's resilience by getting your hands on a copy of Daniel A. Olivas' awe-inspiring anthology Things We Do Not Talk About here.

SDSU Press's Psychoanalysis on the Couch Book Series: Post Freud Studies for a Post Freud World
SDSU Press's Psychoanalysis on
the Couch Book Series
Ralph R. Greenson's Legacy
Abi Jones
Among
100+ publications of San Diego State University Press, you’ll find a large number of publications penned by highly noted authors. None so interesting, and overlooked, as the publications of Ralph R. Greenson. Greenson’s training seminars are edited by noted Psychoanalyst (and former director of this Press!) Harry Polkinhorn and published by SDSU Press with the "Techniques and Practice of Psychoanalysis" series title and with the Psychoanalysis on the Couch imprint.
After his own death, Greenson’s wife opened his personal library. This library included transcriptions of his influential lectures. The transcriptions of his training sessions provide an extensive overview of psychoanalysis and are educational psychological novels that cannot be overlooked. We have praised the work of Sigmund Freud (he of the cigar) and Ivan Pavlov (he of the drool), critiqued and discussed the likes of Philip Zimbardo, but, then, why should we leave Ralph Greenson to the likes of Bigfoot-hunting and Flat Earth-loving conspiracy theorists. Why? Since 2006--when the first publication of these lectures were released--psychologists, students, and scholars have been able to read professional training lectures by someone who left an indelible mark on West Coast (and American) Psychoanalysis. SDSU’s published series “Techniques and Practice of Psychoanalysis” offers a new lens on classic teachings. Go out and get your own copy today!

Tijuana 1964: A Photographic and Historic View/Tijuana 1964: Una Visión Fotográfica e Histórica -- SDSU Press
Tijuana 1964: A Photographic and Historic View/Tijuana 1964: Una Visión Fotográfica e Histórica {Commemorative Edition} Paperback – 2014
Paul Ganster (Author)
David Pinera Ramirez (Author)
Antonio Padilla Corona (Author)
Tijuana 1964: A Photographic and Historical View, was designed to present the remarkable photographs taken in Tijuana in June 1964 by Harry Crosby. The book was published in 2000 and included an essay by historians Paul Ganster, of San Diego State University, and David Piñera Ramírez and Antonio Padilla Corona, both of the Institute for Historical Research at the Autonomous University of Baja California in Tijuana, that set the context for the photographs. The book included 42 photographs in addition to the front cover and the back cover. The publication of Tijuana 1964
was accompanied in October 2000 by an exhibit
of selected images organized by Tijuana's Casa de la Cultura.
By 2013, the participants in the original publication, which has long been out of print, realized that the 50th anniversary of the photographs was fast approaching. Pedro Ochoa Palacio, Director General of the Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT), suggested that his institution might be interested in collaborating on a new edition of Tijuana 1964 and the participants in the first edition responded enthusiastically to the proposal.
The second edition, or the Commemorative Edition, differs from the first in a number of ways. Most importantly, the new publication includes 20 additional photographs and also replaces three of the original images due to technical reasons, for a total of 23 new photographs. All of the additional photographs were made by Harry Crosby during the same two-week period in June of 1964, as those in the first edition. Also, the Commemorative Edition has a revised text that sets the context for the photographs and also provides a discussion of the changes that are evident in Tijuana after 50 years.

Modular Approaches to the Study of the Mind by Noam Chomsky -- Fresh off the SDSU Press
Modular Approaches to the Study of the Mind
By Noam Chomsky
Hardcover and Paperback - 1st Edition
About the Author
Noam Chomsky was born on December 7, 1928, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He received his Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Pennsylvania and began teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1955. Widely published, he's considered a father of modern linguistics. Chomsky spoke out against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and has continued to publicly criticize U.S. foreign policy. American theoretical linguist whose work from the 1950s revolutionized the field of linguistics by treating language as a uniquely human, biologically based cognitive capacity. Through his contributions to linguistics and related fields, including cognitive psychology and the philosophies of mind and language, Chomsky helped to initiate and sustain what came to be known as the "cognitive revolution."
Description
Noam Chomsky uses the historical background and nature of cognitive psychology to enable us to better understand several important problems of human thought and perception and the interrelationship of the body and the mind. Chomsky also gained a worldwide following as a political dissident for his analyses of the pernicious influence of economic elites on U.S. domestic politics, foreign policy, and intellectual culture. This book brings scholars into the cognitive science mode of thinking about the logical nature of language and the discrete nature of its elements as applied to linguistic study.
