Folklorist, academic teacher and administrator, novelist, poet,
singer, activist. Américo Paredes Manzano (1915-1999) was born in Brownsville,
Texas. His father, Justo Paredes Cisneros, a rancher whose family had settled
north of the Rio Grande around 1749, and his mother, born Clotilde Manzano
Vidal, taught their eight children to love and respect the history and folklore
of the Lower Rio Grande Border region.
As a youth, Américo Paredes studied guitar and piano, learned Border
folk songs, and wrote poetry in Spanish and English. While a student at
Brownsville High School, he won a statewide poetry contest and aspired to teach
literature at the University of Texas at Austin. He published his poetry in San
Antonio’s La Prensa and worked as a proofreader
and writer at the Brownsville Herald while
attending Brownsville Junior College. After earning his degree (1936), he
reported and wrote features on folklore for the Herald, published a volume of his poetry in Spanish, and
wrote George Washington Gómez, an unpublished
English-language novel about Mexican American life in Brownsville. He pursued
his love of music by hosting a Brownsville radio program and performing
publicly. His 1939 marriage to singer Consuelo (Chelo) Silva was brief, though
the couple had a son, Américo, Junior.
During the early years of the Second World War, Paredes worked in
Brownsville for the war effort, resigning to be drafted in 1944. The U.S. Army
sent him to occupied Japan to report for its newspaper, Stars and Stripes. Paredes stayed in Asia until 1950,
writing and editing Army publications, contributing a column to
El Universal in Mexico City, and working in public
relations for the American Red Cross. In 1948, he married Amelia Sidzu Nagamine
(1921-1999), a Japanese-Uruguayan woman raised in Mexico and South America.
Paredes returned to Texas with his wife in 1950, and, assisted by the
G. I. Bill, entered the University of Texas at Austin (UT). Paredes
concentrated on the study of folklore in the English Department, completing his
baccalaureate (summa cum laude) in 1951, and his Masters degree in 1953. In
1956, at age 40, he earned his UT doctorate in English and Spanish. While
establishing himself as a scholar of Border folklore, Paredes continued to
write fiction. As a graduate student, he won prizes for a novel and a short
story. Two of his stories, “Over the Waves Is Out” (published 1953) and “The
Hammon and the Beans” (published 1963) reached wide audiences through anthology
and textbook reprints.
Paredes’s Ph.D. dissertation concerned corridos, or narrative ballads, about Gregorio Cortez, a
Mexican American whose conflict with Texas Rangers resulted in strikingly
different accounts in Texas-Mexican folk songs and histories written by Anglo
Texans. Paredes’s work encompassed not only the corridos’ formal aspects, but also Cortez’s life and the
cultural differences reflected in the descriptions of it. The University of
Texas Press published a revised form of the dissertation as
“With His Pistol in His Hand” in 1958. Over the
next four decades, Paredes produced a series of academic books and articles,
primarily on folk song and poetry, which transformed scholars’ understanding of
the American Southwest and influenced folklorists internationally.
After completing his doctorate, Paredes taught briefly in El Paso. The
UT English Department hired him back in 1958, making him one of the few Mexican
Americans on the faculty in Austin. He taught courses on literature, creative
writing, composition, and folklore, before accepting a half-time appointment in
the UT Anthropology Department in 1966. Paredes initiated the interdisciplinary
graduate Folklore major in the English and Anthropology Departments (1967), and
was the first Director of the Center for Intercultural Studies in Folklore and
Oral History (1967-1970). He designed the new program’s core graduate course
and taught it regularly, as well as courses on Mexican-American culture and
folklore. Paredes retired from full-time UT faculty status in 1984 but
continued to teach for several years.
In addition to establishing the Folklore Center, Paredes led the
movement to create a formal program in Mexican American Studies at UT. He
served as Director of the Center for Mexican American Studies and head of the
new, interdisciplinary Mexican American Studies program (1970-1972), with which
he remained closely involved for years. Like the UT Folklore program, the UT
Center for Mexican American Studies earned an outstanding reputation, and many
of Paredes’s students had distinguished careers. Through his teaching,
scholarship, and example as a public intellectual, Paredes had a profound
influence both within the academy and beyond. Known personally for his
seriousness, dignity, and wit, he received the respectful honorific, “Don
Américo.”
Paredes also earned numerous formal distinctions, such as the first
endowed professorship in his discipline (1983) and an annual lecture series
named in his honor (begun 1987) at UT, a Guggenheim fellowship (1962), the
Charles Frankel Prize from the National Endowment for the Humanities (1989),
and the Order of the Aztec Eagle (Aguila Azteca),
the highest honor bestowed on foreign nationals by the government of Mexico
(1991). The Austin Independent School District named a new middle school after
Paredes in 1998. Among the scholarly groups bestowing honors upon him were the
American Folklore Society, the North American Academy of the Spanish Language,
the Sociedad Folklórica de México, and the Western Literature Association.
In the 1990s, Paredes fulfilled his early promise as an author of
fiction and poetry. George Washington Gómez
finally saw print, as did his prize-winning novel from 1955,
The Shadow, and collections of early poetry and
short stories. The new availability of Paredes’s writing from the 1930s led
scholars to revise their understanding of Mexican-American literary history. As
younger musical artists and the listening public renewed their appreciation of
traditional Border music, Paredes also gained popular recognition for his
knowledge of Mexican and tejano song. By the end
of his life, Paredes had achieved high distinctions in his many roles as a
scholar, teacher, activist, and creative artist.
Américo Paredes acknowledged the contribution of his private
partnership with Amelia Paredes to his professional accomplishments. The couple
had three children, Alan, Vicente, and Julia; grandchildren; and
great-grandchildren. Amelia Paredes managed the household, and, helping those
with the same condition as her daughter, was a prominent advocate for the
rights of the developmentally disabled in Texas. Américo Paredes passed away in
Austin on Cinco de Mayo, 1999, followed in July by Amelia Paredes.

Correspondence, creative works, printed material, sound recordings,
legal documents, financial records, photographic material, diaries, works of
art on paper, and artifacts (1886-1999, bulk 1933-1999) document the life and
work of Américo Paredes as a scholar, teacher, creative artist, and activist.
Material primarily reflects Paredes's work as a folklore scholar and as a
faculty member at the University of Texas at Austin (UT).
Notes, manuscripts, calendars, numerous subject files, and extensive
correspondence files document his publishing, teaching, and administration of
the Folklore and Mexican American Studies programs at UT. Other professional
activities represented in the papers include his contacts with folklore
scholars in the United States and abroad, his involvement in scholarly
organizations, and his consultations on numerous projects for scholarly,
student, and general audiences. The papers contain relatively little
information on his UT career before the formation of the UT Folklore Center
1966. Paredes’s files of personal clippings document his professional
achievements, 1952-1998.
Manuscripts and copies of published works contain the poetry, songs,
fiction, and journalism Paredes wrote before beginning his academic career.
Correspondence, manuscripts, and printed material document his relationships
with other young Mexican-American poets, 1935-1940. Later correspondence
reflects Paredes’s relationships with Mexican-American scholars of several
generations, and his influence on younger students and readers. In the texts of
speeches, manuscripts, interviews, and correspondence, c. 1970-1998, Paredes
articulated his experiences as a Mexican American to various audiences.
Personal material includes correspondence with his wife, Amelia
Nagamine Paredes, during the periods in which the two were separated, and
correspondence with various family members. Some of the family correspondence
reflects a shared interest in the culture and history of the Texas-Mexican
Border region. Other personal materials include calendars and mementos. The
papers include little material that illuminates Paredes’s personal life before
his second marriage, and almost none from his childhood. Diaries, manuscripts,
correspondence, and printed articles record some of his impressions during his
period in Asia (1945-1950).
Photographic material consists of a small number of snapshots in
letters, reference files, and student papers, as well as microfilm and
videotape. The photographs include few images of Paredes himself. Audio
material includes field recordings and speeches by Paredes, but primarily
contains commercially produced recordings.
In general, the Américo Paredes papers arrived at the Benson Latin
American collection in good order. Most individual files and many subseries
were intact. During processing, the papers were organized into nine series.
Headings assigned by Paredes to sets of files are indicated by quotation marks
on the following inventory. Other folder titles in brackets were assigned
during processing. Series descriptions below include other notes on arrangement
and organization.
The primary language of the Américo Paredes Papers is English, though
portions of the correspondence, creative works, and printed materials are in
Spanish.
All records created before 1900 are in photocopied form.

printed material, manuscripts and notes, and photographs. Paredes did not file
this correspondence with, or removed it from, his General Correspondence files
(Series IV). Two sub-subseries, A. Family and Personal Correspondence,
1946-1999, n.d.; B. Correspondence Separated by Américo Paredes, 1946-1996. |
| | | | A. Family and Personal
Correspondence, 1946-1999,
n.d. |
| | | | Includes correspondence with his wife and sons, mother,
siblings and other relatives; friends and professional acquaintances; and
collections of greeting and holiday cards. Some letters include ephemera and
photographic material, and touch on professional as well as personal matters.
Early correspondence with Amelia Paredes (1947-1948) and some family
correspondence is in Spanish, but the bulk is in English. |
| | | | Note that Paredes typically labeled files of correspondence
with his wife “A-A” (for Amelia-Américo), and that he often addressed his wife
by her nickname, “Nena.” In correspondence between the two, they occasionally
used the private names “Gusai” (Amelia) and “Dana” (Américo). |
| | | | Family correspondents include Paredes’s mother, Clotilde
Manzano Paredes; his elder siblings Eliseo (1899-1988), who was the city
historian of Matamoros, Mexico, Lorenzo (born 1904), and Clotilde Paredes
Ceballos (1906-1991); and his younger siblings, the twins Amador (1920-1985)
and Eleazar (1920-1975), both teachers. He corresponded with Clotilde
Ceballos’s daughter, Patti Padron, and with Odilia Galván Rodríguez,
granddaughter of his sister Isaura (1902-1936). Paredes’s other siblings were
Blanca (1910-1930) and Justo, Junior (1912-1914). |

| Manuscripts, notes, correspondence, published articles and reviews, clippings and other ephemeral printed material, and financial and legal records document Américo Paredes’s works as an author and lecturer, 1933-1999 (bulk 1950-1998). Paredes filed correspondence regarding his publications and speaking engagements separately from his other correspondence. The series is divided into three subseries: 1. Literary Productions, 1933-1999, 7 ft., 1 in.; 2. Talks, Lectures, Symposia, 1958-1998, n.d., 10 in.; 3. Research Materials, c. 1954-1987, 2 ft. 1. |

| | | | Contains correspondence with publishers, editors, and readers;
financial records; legal documents; printed material. Paredes created files on
specific works and general files by publisher. Some old correspondence is in
subject folders (Box 18). In his “UT Press” file, Paredes included
correspondence both regarding his own books and concerning his work as a
reviewer for the press. Rather than creating files for his later books
published by Arte Público Press, he typically placed all correspondence in the
general publisher folders. |
| | | | Paredes did not file his royalty statements and reprint
permission forms consistently, and they were organized during processing.
Titled folders of correspondence regarding some early publications were moved
from Series IV to this one. |
| | | | Paredes filed correspondence regarding his edited volume,
Humanidad, in Subseries 2 of this series. He
stored the files regarding his co-edited volumes Toward
New Perspectives in Folklore and The Urban
Experience and Folk Tradition with his Journal of
American Folklore files, in Series III, Subseries 4. The file about his
note "Tag, You're It" is in the Series III, Subseries 3, Course Files. Further
correspondence concerning Folklore and Culture on the
Texas-Mexican Border is in his Center for Mexican American Studies
files, Victor Guerra file (Series II, Subseries 1) |

2 ft., 1 in. |
| | | Correspondence with University of Texas (UT) administrators,
colleagues, and students; clippings, newsletters, announcements, brochures, and
other printed material; notes and texts of speeches. The subseries documents
Paredes's involvement in the creation and early administration of both the
Folklore and Mexican-American Studies programs at UT Austin. Other material in
the subseries relates to honors and distinctions Paredes earned at UT Austin
and UT Brownsville. A relatively small amount of material documents Paredes's
ties to the English and Anthropology Departments. Paredes filed some personal
correspondence similar to that in Series VI in this subseries. |
| | | Arrangement and organization are Paredes's. Headings created by
him appear in quotation marks. During processing, related files were added to
the Mexican-American Studies and UT Brownsville divisions. Access to some
material is restricted (see Series X description). |

3 ft., 3 in. |
| | | Notes, outlines, essays, class handouts; clippings and excerpts
of books and articles; correspondence; sound recordings. The files contain
material, primarily notes and bibliographic references, for classroom use in
the courses Paredes taught after the creation of the University of Texas
Folklore program (1966-1991). Folders, most with titles, course designations,
and class session numbers, are organized and arranged as Paredes had filed
them. At the beginning of the subseries are some of Paredes's course
descriptions. During processing, loose student papers were added to the end of
this subseries |
| | | Each folder has its own title and course designation. Typically,
Paredes labeled folders for classroom use with an indication for the course
(its abbreviated title, number, or both) and a numeral in parenthesis, assumed
to be an ordinal representing either the sequential class meeting of, or topic
covered in, that particular course. For example, Paredes probably created the
folder titled "325L (Folklife) (20): Houses and Their Contents" for the
twentieth classroom session or twentieth topical area, houses, of his course,
Greater Mexican Folklife, one of several courses he taught listed as
Anthropology/English 325L. Consult Appendix, "University of Texas at Austin
Courses Taught after 1966," for course titles and numbers. |
| | | Articles and audio cassettes that Paredes placed on reserve at
the University of Texas Undergraduate Library are included in this series. The
cassette tapes, include examples of song forms chosen by him from his field
collection, along with transcriptions and translation of the songs' lyrics.
