Andres, Jr. -- La reconquista: the Chicano movement in New Mexico / David R. Maciel and Juan Jose Pena.
The twelve original essays here reinterpret the hisory of New Mexico for the first time from a Chicano perspective. Self-determination, resistance, and cultural maintenance are the recurring themes in the lvies and struggles of Nuevomexicanos from 1848 to the present. The conflict has been not solely with the customs and institutions Anglos introduced - though certainly that has occurred. On a more fundamental level, the clash has been over modernization - how the Spanish language, folk traditions, and land grants can survive as a heritage for future generations amid English, new and secular values, and real estates booms and speculation.
