Historical Atlas of New Mexico
New Mexico’s long and dramatic history was in many ways predestined by its location, vast size, and abundant mineral resources. Treasure-hunting Spanish explorers tramped across its plains and scaled its mountains in search of the Seven Cities of Cíbola in the sixteenth century. In clashing with descendants of the prehistoric Indian population, the Spanish began three centuries of struggles that lasted through the nineteenth century when the steamroller of United States expansion arrived. The history of New Mexico is the story of the blending of the three cultures—Hispanic, Indian, and An... [Read More]

Understories: The Political Life of Forests in Northern New Mexico (a John Hope Franklin Center Book)
Through lively, engaging narrative, Understories demonstrates how volatile politics of race, class, and nation animate the notoriously violent struggles over forests in the southwestern United States. Rather than reproduce traditional understandings of nature and environment, Jake Kosek shifts the focus toward material and symbolic “natures,” seemingly unchangeable essences central to formations of race, class, and nation that are being remade not just through conflicts over resources but also through everyday practices by Chicano activists, white environmentalists, and state officials as ...

Coming of Age in the Great Depression: The Civilian Conservation Corps in New Mexico, 1933-1942
Based on archival material and interviews with former enrollees, Melzer (history, U. of New Mexico-Valencia) tells the story of some 50,000 young men who worked in the Corps, an initiative of the New Deal program, to support their families and learn skills when the private sector failed them. Great pains were taken, he notes, to keep the Corp from becoming a paramilitary organization, but when World War II broke out, military recruiters plundered it to acquire well disciplined and highly skilled soldiers. He also describes the enduring contributions the program made to the state. Annotation c.... [Read More]
