Описание: The Working Life of an Hispano Patriarch, 1890 - 1976, is a rare glimpse into the life of a courageous human being who confronted every manner of calamity and personal challenge without flinching. His life spanned the end of New Mexico's territorial period and the first several decades of statehood. At age seven, he began to journey out from his farming community of Chimay , NM into the illimitable spaces of the American Southwest in an effort to earn a living in a society progressively being driven by the cash economy of the United States. In one of his earliest trips he copes with the loss of his father who is brought back to Chimay from a distant and arduous fruit-selling trek on the back of a horse-drawn wagon, only to die a few days later on the family farm. While still a teenager, he and a few of his friends walk more than a hundred miles across a mountain range to the great plains of New Mexico where they sell their labor to a company laying railroad across the west. Working ten hour days and hauling timbers that weighed as much or more than he did, he grows physically stronger, mentally sharper and morally more uncompromising. Over the years, Apolonio travels less due to his diligence and ability to do many things - farm, build houses, and sculpt. He becomes economically more secure as his farm prospers and his chile crop grows in demand. Together with his wife Celestina, he is able to devote more of his time to his family, farm and community. In his latter working years, he is able to supplement his livelihood with employment at the nearby New Mexico State Capitol and at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratories. He rounds out a life that could only be described as "blessed" when during his final years he is able to devote himself exclusively to the carving of Catholic religious icons called "santos", play the harmonica and write out in longhand and in Spanish the inspiring story of his life.

Описание:

Latinas/os and Asians are rewriting the meaning and history of race in the American South by complicating the black/white binary that has frequently defined the region since before the Civil War. Arriving in southern communities as migrants or refugees, Latinas/os and Asians have experienced both begrudging acceptance and prejudice as their presence confronts and troubles local understandings of race and difference—understandings that have deep roots in each community’s particular racial history, as well as in national fears and anxieties about race.

Nuevo South offers the first comparative study showing how Latinas/os and Asians are transforming race and place in the contemporary South. Integrating political, economic, and social analysis, Perla M. Guerrero examines the reception of Vietnamese, Cubans, and Mexicans in northwestern Arkansas communities that were almost completely white until the mid-1970s. She shows how reactions to these refugees and immigrants ranged from reluctant acceptance of Vietnamese as former US allies to rejection of Cubans as communists, criminals, and homosexuals and Mexicans as “illegal aliens” who were perceived as invaders when they began to establish roots and became more visible in public spaces. Guerrero’s research clarifies how social relations are constituted in the labor sphere, particularly the poultry industry, and reveals the legacies of regional history, especially anti-Black violence and racial cleansing. Nuevo South thus helps us to better understand what constitutes the so-called Nuevo South and how historical legacies shape the reception of new people in the region.
