Does anyone know what this book is? Literatura costumbrista and something about a "Mango Tree".?

About 10 years ago I had a college course about Latin American short stories. I have misplaced the 2 books I had from the cl. The genre of writing was "literatura costumbrista". One of the books, I swore, was called "Under the Mango Tree". I've searched and searched on-line for a book with that title, and found one, but it's not the book I had in that cl. I kept my books, but can't find them. I am craving that book. It was all kinds of short stories from Latin America from, if I recall correctly, between about the 1930's and the 1950's or so. I think. There's one book I kep finding in my search that is 6 short stories, has the title of what I'm looking for, and was put together by Elida Guardia Bonet. This is not the book I'm looking for. Maybe my book has a different name, but it definitely had the story "Under the Mango Tree" in it. I swore that was also the book's title. It had one story called "Indian Justice", and too many other details to list. Anyone? Bueller... Bueller...
