Forrest, Suzanne
The Preservation of the village New Mexico's Hispanics and the New Deal Suzanne Forrest - Albuquerque, NM University of New Mexico 1989 - 253 p. - New Mexico land grant series .
This lively volume recounts the history of New Mexico's traditional agriculture-based Hispanic villages during the Great Depression. Long overlooked by Anglos, these communities were rediscovered and targeted for revitalization in the 1930s by federal and state bureaucracies. New Deal programs promoted native crafts, agriculture, and communitarian values but overlooked the shortage of economic resources in New Mexico and the growing shift to modern technology in American society. Through archival sources, government documents, oral interviews, and newspapers, the author explains the rationale behind New Deal efforts and explores their effect on New Mexico's communities.
