Our History, Our Words Series
This series presents valuable pieces of Mexican-American history through the experiences of ordinary
men and women, showing how their lives shaped and were shaped by events in history. Through their
words, anecdotes, and accounts, present generations learn about important -many times ignored-
segments of information that add a significant part to mainstream American history.
"Our History, Our Words" recovers unknown or forgotten elements of Mexican-American history that
are necessary to understand the present and project the future. Thanks to the words of these lesser-
known yet talented and amazing authors, new tiles become part of the large mosaic of our history.
Their history and their words are indeed "our History and our words."
The Hispanic Institute of Social Issues is proud and honored to present this exclusive series.
As part of our educational scope, we have incorporated texts from other authors whose writings align
with our Mission and Vision, as well as strict ethical standards. These authors posses a genuine talent
to write, a valuable oral history, and a desire to document their story, so present and future
generations learn and understand the unwritten history of Mexican-Americans. Writers in this category
also share HISI’s goal to serve and educate.
Our expertise in producing our own publications placed us on a position to assist these authors with
services such as editing, graphic design, professional photography, visual art, and printing, utilizing the
most up-to-date digital technology and equipment. HISI’s infrastructure has allowed us to produce cost-
effective books without compromising the quality. Authors who have published through us are enjoying
the satisfaction of seeing their books become part of libraries throughout the Southwest and other
states in the nation. The series "Our History, Our Words" encourages writers to contribute with their
personal history and testimony to the mainstream and official History of Arizona and the United States.
HISI books are publications created with exceptional quality printing machinery, and by using
professional and high-caliber technology in commercial printing presses. Our production staff is backed
by innovative technology geared up for current publishing trends. HISI’s strong commitment to quality,
service and technology truly benefit our many customers.
Authors interested in finding out more information about our publishing criteria and rules, are
encouraged to contact HISI staff.
