Dr. Janet Pérez
This year Céfiro will continue honor our founder Dr. Janet Pérez
Her research covered several areas of Hispanic Literature, but her primary focus and energy was within the orbit of Contemporary (from 1898 to present) Spanish Peninsular Literature. In this area she was a true trailblazer. She was arguably the first American scholar to conduct research and write extensively on the literature of post Civil War Spain written by women and on Spanish literature of exile. All this work was done at a time when research in these areas was practically nonexistent. In this manner, her work impacted what was known in the United States about Spain at the time. These are some of the reasons she earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the nation's top scholars of Spanish Literature and helped carry forward the name and reputation of Texas Tech and the Department of CMLL.
