Scope and Content

From the Collection: David Dunaway’s Writing the Southwest collection is divided into two series audio and research. The audio series consists of sound recordings from the radio documentary series “Writing the Southwest," a thirteen-part national radio documentary that explores literature from multiethnic authors (mainly from New Mexico) who helped define Southwestern American literature. Fourteen authors are represented and for each one there is related audio. The authors include: Edward Abbey, Rudolfo Anaya, Denise Chávez, Joy Harjo, Tony Hillerman, Linda Hogan, Barbara Kingsolver, Terry McMillan, John Nichols, Simon Ortiz, Alberto Ríos, Stan Steiner, Luci Tapahonso, and Frank Waters.

The audio series also contains recordings on consulting conferences in preparation for the radio series and interviews, readings, lectures and broadcasts with the writers listed above.

The research series constitutes the research David Dunaway collected from 1987-1995 to write the scripts, co-produce the radio series and edit the companion volume Writing the Southwest. The materials include biographical documents, criticism, correspondence, interview transcripts, production scripts, notes and a few photographs. In addition, the research series has publicity, a lecture series and media documents from promoting the radio series and book, consulting conferences transcripts and an overview of the project written by David Dunaway. These papers and recordings reveal the creative process and development of the radio series and evolution of the book. In addition, they highlight the unique American Southwest literary tradition
