This volume celebrates fifteen years of books by bringing together some of the series' best work, such as poetry from Francisco X. Alarcón, fiction from Christine Granados, and nonfiction from Luis Alberto Urrea. These voices echo the entire spectrum of Latina\/o writing, from Chicana\/o to Puerto Rican to Brazilian-American, and take in themes ranging from migration to gender. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAwards bestowed upon Camino del Sol titles include the PEN\/Beyond Margins Award to Richard Blanco's \u003ci\u003eDirections to the Beach of the Dead\u003c\/i\u003e; Before Columbus Foundation American Book Awards to Diana García's \u003ci\u003eWhen Living Was a Labor Camp\u003c\/i\u003e and Luis Alberto Urrea's \u003ci\u003eNobody's Son\u003c\/i\u003e; International Latino Book Awards to Pat Mora's \u003ci\u003eAdobe Odes\u003c\/i\u003e and Kathleen Alcalá's \u003ci\u003eThe Desert Remembers My Name\u003c\/i\u003e; the Premio Aztlán literary prize to Sergio Troncoso's \u003ci\u003eThe Last Tortilla\u003c\/i\u003e; and the PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles National Literary Award to Kathleen de Azevedo's \u003ci\u003eSamba Dreamers\u003c\/i\u003e.
