This fascinating and thought-provoking volume applies insights from the social sciences and humanities to the search for life beyond Earth, from exoplanets to aliens and UFOs. Aveni brings his unique expertise in the cultures of the Earth to illuminate possible cultures in the heavens. The result is an important, readable, and unusual contribution to the literature of astrobiology, illuminating not only possible extraterrestrials, but also the humans who search for and believe in them.”

Aliens Like Us?
An Anthropologist’s Field Guide to Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life
a nthony a veni
In this authoritative, accessible, and at times funny and irreverent work, distinguished anthropologist Anthony Aveni speaks to the trained astrophysicist and the curious layperson alike about a simple but previously unexplored question: Why do we assume aliens, if they are really out there, behave just like us?
Aveni’s newest work departs significantly from the usual scientific treatment of extraterrestrial intelligence by probing the historical and widely neglected anthropological record, which offers relevant incidents of contact among terrestrial cultures. Beginning with theories of the evolution of life and culture advocated by astrobiologists, Aliens Like Us? explores how the Western cultural imagination is influenced by ways of knowing that are deeply embedded in the minds of the questioners—for example, how we consider the ownership of property, the idea of progress, and even the way we classify things. The lessons of anthropology offer not only value structures from other cultures that differ profoundly from our own but also testify to the diverse ways in which cultures interact.
AU bio
Finally, on the question of potential first contact, Aveni closes with a fascinating exploration of the image of extraterrestrials in popular culture that is derived in part from the hugely influential realm of science fiction.

—Don J. uSner, A uthor of cHA sing Dic H os t H roug H cH im Ayó
Sage Vogel’s debut story collection invites readers into the heart of an archetypal 1950s Northern New Mexico village, where the fruit orchards, arroyo roads, adobe homes, and even pigsties hold tales of wit, romance, woe, and wisdom.
Dichos en Nichos contains ten interconnected stories inspired by original dichos—pithy folk sayings and proverbs. Vogel's dichos—presented in both Spanish and English—are shared among a colorful cast of characters. Created in collaboration with each story is a nicho—an oil painting set in an antique frame—created by renowned Southwestern artists Christen Vogel and Jim Vogel.
Dichos en Nichos is captivating and immersive. It invites readers to explore the heart and soul of a distinct setting in a bygone era. Through its inspired blend of vernacular language, compelling themes, and masterful artwork, this small volume will leave an enduring impression on all who enter its beautifully crafted and wholly unforgettable world.

“Johnny

easily put down.
WHAM! SOCK! BAM! FANTASTIC!”
t om holm, A uthor of pA nt H er c reek
Someone, or something, is killing the Native artists and art collectors of Santa Fe. The police are baffled by a series of brutal murders—ritual killings with all the trappings of some of the mythic monsters of the Apache origin stories, each signed with the same bloody signature: the Coyote. But where the police fail, Johnny may succeed. A hard-bitten, hard-boiled private investigator right out of the pages of Chandler or Cain, Johnny has a key advantage: as an Apache, he can go places the police can’t, and he can talk to the people the police won’t. As the owner of Eagle Eye Investigations, Johnny sets out on the trail of the Coyote, and the closer he gets, the more it becomes apparent that the hunter is also the hunted. Johnny Geronimo: Art of Darkness incorporates themes from Apache and other Indigenous traditions to tell the story of this classic antihero of Native noir.

The Grace That Comes Through Loss
l aura Julier
“Laura Julier . . . marks out the perimeter of the losses in her life, not by confiding them to the page but by careful indirection. . . . Her power of attention is formidable, and her prose is at every point lucid.”
—Sven b irkert S , A uthor of tH e m iro Worm A n D t H e m ysteries of Writing
Loss and sorrow can overwhelm even the strongest person, forcing them to reckon with their emotions whether they want to or not. In this extraordinary debut, Laura Julier recounts her reckoning, which took place in an old cabin tucked away on a hidden and forgotten gravel road along the Iowa River. In company with silence and snow, with eagles, owls, and a host of other birds, Julier finds solace and begins to emerge from the dark corners of grief. Over time, she comes to understand she cannot bury grief or turn aside from loss but must walk in its presence, awake and humble, until, at last, she finds her own wholeness within it.

“Robert Garner McBrearty’s The Problem You Have is a stunning collection of short stories that go straight to the heart. The characters are unforgettable, the prose rich and powerful.”
—JA ck
Smith, A uthor of i f Winter c omes: A n ovel
The Sisyphean characters in The Problem You Have may not be pushing a giant rock up a hill, but they are unlikely to ever get where they are going. Yet despite knowing that, they push on and work with graceful resignation. In McBrearty’s newest collection, a diverse group of characters encounter turning points. A minor criminal seeking warmth on a frigid night climbs through a farmhouse window to discover more than he ever expected. A dying soldier recalls the man he left behind. In one horrible afternoon, a college professor realizes the only sanctuary is love. While some stories hold dark themes, McBrearty masterfully infuses the work with humor and compassion, rendering the characters within them relatable. Even with themes of loss or what might have been, the collection sings notes of what might yet be, for both the characters and the reader.

“Thomas Swetnam offers a fascinating collection of historical anecdotes and natural history. . . . The result is a composite portrait of one of New Mexico’s most diverse and best-loved regions.”
—Willi A m De buy S , A uthor of e nc HA ntment A n D e xploitA tion
The Jemez Mountains are a quintessential New Mexico landscape. Pueblo, Spanish, and Anglo cultures have mixed and melded here. The rocks and trees tell stories of eruptions, lava flows, droughts, floods, forest fires, and hot springs damming a river. People tell stories of conquistadores, pueblos, and priests, of battles for land and water, of farming and sheep herding, and of raiders, rustlers, forest rangers, and hippies.
For those new to the Jemez Mountains, these stories and images, told in forty brief chapters, provide an introduction to the cultural and natural history of the area. Residents and longtime aficionados of the Jemez will find both familiar and surprising stories and will gain a renewed sense of the magnificence of this place.

In these new and selected essays, Mark Sundeen recounts two decades of political activism, outdoor exploration, and empathetic curiosity. He was both witness to and active participant in pivotal cultural and political events of the new millennium, from Howard Dean’s presidential campaign to the Iraq War protests and the NoDAPL uprising in Standing Rock. But what brings these large phenomena into humanistic focus is the cast of idiosyncratic people he meets. Using first-person reportage, well-crafted storytelling, and wry, self-deprecating humor, Sundeen’s keen observations illustrate what everyday life is like for people in the contemporary American West, with all their systemic precarities and individual triumphs.

Neil Mathison and his wife, Susan, newly retired and with their son in college, embark upon a great American road trip “uncoupled from the tyranny of calendars or a specific journey.”
Airstream Country recounts their travels across the western United States as they wind their way through millions of years of geological history with their Airstream in tow. Along the way they encounter upheavals and depositions, ancient seas and young mountains, and stone towers and striated canyons, which are all illuminated by Mathison’s knowledgeable commentary. Even after thousands of miles and eons of geology, their adventures are never finished, for, as Mathison writes, “We learn by travel where we ought to travel more.”

Mesa Verde’s Secret Garden is an authoritative history of the management of Mesa Verde National Park—the only congressionally designated land-based Wilderness to prohibit all recreational use, ostensibly in order to protect the park’s thousands of archaeological sites. In exploring this restriction, Barns utilizes unpublished primary sources from park archives and contextualizes them in the evolving (and often conflicting) federal and local priorities for Wilderness, conservation, and the national parks. The result of this painstaking research is a fascinating chronicle of national-park administration and development over a nearly 120-year history that provides unique insights into the people and protocols that have shaped the very landscape of Mesa Verde.

Jim k ristofic
“Kristofic is a terrific, compelling writer who has turned the topic of sustainable housing into a transcendent cause.”
—Seb AS ti A n Junger, ne W york t ime S be S t S elling A uthor of WA r
Our buildings are making us sick. Our homes, offices, factories, and dormitories are, in some sense, fresh parasites on the sacred Earth, Nahasdzáán. In search of a better way, author Jim Kristofic journeys across the Southwest to apprentice with architects and builders who know how to make buildings that will take care of us. This is where he meets the House Gods who are building to the sun so that we can live on Earth. Forever.
In House Gods, Kristofic pursues the techniques of sustainable building and the philosophies of its practitioners. What emerges is a strange and haunting quest through adobe mud and mayhem, encounters with shamans and stray dogs, solar panels, tragedy, and true believers. It is a story about doing something meaningful, and about the kinds of things that grow out of deep pain. One of these things is compassion—from which may come solace. We build our buildings, we make our lives—we are the House Gods.

Morales weaves his father’s personality, his childhood in Puerto Rico, and his service in the US military with his own interest in life after death. In these poems he guides the reader through ghost hunts, conversations with mediums, a series of dreams in which he and his father work through his father’s crossing over together, and his ultimate acceptance of this monumental loss. Dream of the Bird Tattoo beautifully showcases how our loved ones continue to live on in our memories and actions.

The year is 1838. A young Scotsman forced from his homeland arrives at Hudson’s Bay. Angus McDonald is contracted to British masters to trade for fur. But the world he discovers is beyond even a Highlander’s wildest imaginings: raging rivers, buffalo hunts, and the powerful daughter of an ancient and magnificent people. In Catherine Baptiste, kin to Nez Perce chiefs, Angus recognizes a kindred spirit. The Rocky Mountain West in which they meet will soon be torn apart by competing claims: between British fur traders, American settlers, and the Native peoples who have lived for millennia in the valleys and plateaus of the Shining Mountains’ western slopes.
In this epic family saga, the real history of the American West is revealed in all its terror, beauty, and complexity. The Shining Mountains brilliantly limns a world now long forgotten: of blended cultures seeking allies, trading furs for guns and steel, and a way of life in collision with westward colonial expansion.

Requiem for America’s Best Idea National Parks in the Era of Climate Change
m ichael J. y ochim; f oreword by w illiam r . l owry
“This is a crucial book.”
Michael J. Yochim worked for the National Park Service for nearly thirty years before being diagnosed with ALS. In Requiem for America’s Best Idea, Yochim explains how climate change is altering the face of America’s national parks, focusing on current and projected changes to vegetation, wildlife, and the natural conditions in Olympic, Grand Canyon, Glacier, Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks. As Yochim guides the reader from park to park, he immerses us in each park’s beauty and wonder, highlighting the resources now at risk of destruction or permanent alteration.
Climate change is indisputably happening around us, and our parks are changing, often irrevocably. If we don’t act now, Yochim argues, future changes will be much more severe, threatening the very essence of these irreplaceable wonders.

The Creole Rebellion
The Most Successful Slave Revolt in American History
b ruce c hadwick
The Creole Rebellion tells the suspenseful story of the bloody mutiny on board the slave ship Creole. Bound out of Richmond, Virginia, the Creole was seized in a violent takeover by its captives in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in November 1841. Sailing en route to a New Orleans slave-auction block, nineteen of the captives mutinied. Led by enslaved bondsman Madison Washington, the mutineers killed one man and injured several others. After taking control of the vessel, Washington forced the crewmen to redirect their course to Nassau in the Bahamas, then a colony of Great Britain, which had abolished slave trading eight years earlier. Despite much local hysteria upon their arrival, all of the 135 slaves aboard the ship eventually won their freedom.
Part history, part adventure, and part legal drama, historian Bruce Chadwick’s The Creole Rebellion chronicles the most successful slave revolt in the pages of American history.

rory m c g overn, A uthor of g eorge W. g oet HA ls A n D t H e Army: cHA nge A n D c ontinuity in t H e g il D e D Age A n D p rogressive e r A
In 1932, the worst year of the Great Depression, more than twenty thousand mostly homeless World War I veterans trekked to the nation’s capital to petition Congress to grant them early payment of a promised bonus. The Hoover Administration and the local government urged Washington, DC, police chief Pelham Glassford to forcefully drive this “bonus army” out of the city. Instead, he defied both governments for months and found food and shelter for the veterans until Congress voted on their request.
Glassford’s efforts to persuade federal and local officials to deal sympathetically with the protesters were ultimately in vain, but his proposed solutions, though disregarded by his supervisors, demonstrate that compassion and empathy could be more effective ways of dealing with radical protests than violent suppression.

The Forgotten Civil War General
r ichard l . m iller
John Potts Slough, the Union commander at the Battle of Glorieta Pass, lived a life of relentless pursuit for success that entangled him in the turbulent events of mid-nineteenthcentury America. As a politician, Slough fought abolitionists in the Ohio legislature and during Kansas Territory’s fourth and final constitutional convention. He organized the 1st Colorado Volunteer Infantry after the Civil War broke out, eventually leading his men against Confederate forces at the pivotal engagement at Glorieta Pass. After the war, as chief justice of the New Mexico Territorial Supreme Court, he struggled to reform corrupt courts amid the territory’s corrosive Reconstruction politics.
Slough was known to possess a volcanic temper and an easily wounded pride. These traits not only undermined a promising career but ultimately led to his death at the hands of an aggrieved political enemy who gunned him down in a Santa Fe saloon. Recounting Slough’s timeless story of rise and fall during America’s most tumultuous decades, historian Richard L. Miller brings to life this extraordinary figure.

James Silas Calhoun
First Governor of New Mexico Territory and First Indian Agent
s herry r obinson
Veteran journalist and author Sherry Robinson presents readers with the first full biography of New Mexico’s first territorial governor, James Silas Calhoun. Robinson explores Calhoun’s early life in Georgia and his military service in the Mexican War and how they led him west. Through exhaustive research Robinson shares Calhoun’s story of arriving in New Mexico in 1849—a turbulent time in the region—to serve as its first Indian agent. Inhabitants were struggling to determine where their allegiances lay; they had historic and cultural ties with Mexico, but the United States offered an abundance of possibilities.
An accomplished attorney, judge, legislator, and businessman and an experienced speaker and negotiator who spoke Spanish, Calhoun was uniquely qualified to serve as the first territorial governor only eighteen months into his service. While his time on the New Mexico political scene was brief, he served with passion, intelligence, and goodwill, making him one of the most intriguing political figures in the history of New Mexico.

“Making art is taking an idea, pulling it through your experiences, and realizing an expression of who you are,” says John Coleman, adding, “I like to tell stories in my work that help explain who we are and from where we came. Each piece tells an underlying story—a visual mythology written by my hands and spiritual imagination, somehow linking us to the past and bringing us to a greater understanding of our ancestors.”
Whether working in clay, charcoal, or oils, Coleman draws viewers into the face of history where universal emotions create eternal bonds. His brilliance in communicating poignant moments is documented in this first book about his life and art. Overcoming trials and setbacks, Coleman has become one of the twenty-first century’s foremost interpreters of the hero’s journey in Native lifeways and the American West.

Driving Terror Labor, Violence, and Justice in Cold War Argentina
k aren r obert
Driving Terror tells the story of twenty-four Ford autoworkers in Argentina who were tortured and “disappeared” for their union activism in 1976, miraculously survived, and pursued a decades-long quest for truth and justice. In 2018, over four decades after their ordeal, the men won a historic human-rights case against a military commander and two retired Ford Argentina executives who were convicted of crimes against humanity.
The Ford survivors’ story intertwines with the symbolic evolution of the car the men helped build at Ford: the Falcon sedan. The political polarization and violence of the Cold War era transformed the Falcon from a popular family car to a tool of state terror after the coup of 1976, when it became associated with the widespread practice of “disappearance.” Its meaning continued to evolve after the return to democracy, when artists and activists used it as a symbol of military impunity during Argentina’s long-term struggles over justice and memory.

cA rrie ryA n, A uthor of tH e c onquest of t H e Desert: Argentin A ’s i n Digenous p eoples A n D t H e bA ttle for History
Between 1878 and 1885 Argentina militarily annexed northern Patagonia. The Argentine government sought to develop practices and institutions in the region that would turn “barbarism” into “civilization.” Using court cases to reconstruct the various partnerships between neighbors, the police, judges, and prosecutors, Cikota argues that settlers were active stakeholders in the establishment and continued functioning of the frontier state. Frontier Justice centers on an unusual cast of frontier denizens, tackling issues of gender, race, patronage, and colonialism to better understand the competing sources of legitimacy in a newly incorporated area.

The Design Competition in Landscape Architecture
Pedagogy and Practice
katya crawford and kathleen kambic; foreword by Julia czerniak
Many internationally known landscape architects and architecture firms—including Snøhetta, BIG, Scape, and Weiss/Manfredi—have originated from design-competition wins. The Design Competition in Landscape Architecture is the first book devoted to helping professional and academic design studios comprehensively plan for successful entries. The book outlines the history and development of modern design competitions, includes interviews with world-renowned architects and designers, offers a pedagogical approach to competition studio, serves as a guide for entering design competitions, showcases award-winning designs from landscape architecture faculty and students, reflects on future directions of competitions, and provides resources for finding competitions. Lively graphics, including site plans, sketches, and color photographs, accompany the text. Crawford and Kambic’s history and analysis of the modern landscape architecture design competition shine a spotlight on the critical role these events play for practitioners, educators, and students and highlights how they shape and give identity to the cities in which we live.

Uncovering America’s First War Contact, Conflict, and Coronado’s Expedition
to the Rio Grande
m atthew f. s chmader; f oreword by r ichard f lint and s hirley c ushing f lint
Matthew F. Schmader’s groundbreaking book provides the first in-depth report on new, important archaeological evidence from conflict between the Puebloan people of the Middle Rio Grande Valley and the first Spanish-led incursion into the American Southwest during the early sixteenth century. Drawing directly from personally conducted archaeological research done over the past fifteen years, Schmader’s work uncovers Piedras Marcadas Pueblo, an immense village of more than one thousand mud-walled rooms situated in present-day Albuquerque, New Mexico. When increasing tensions between Coronado’s expedition and New Mexico’s native peoples spilled over into violence at the end of 1540, Piedras Marcadas was at the center of America’s earliest named sustained conflict: the Tiguex War. Today, hundreds of artifacts found at Piedras Marcadas reveal the colliding cultures who fought each other within those now-silent ancient walls and plazas that were once the focal point of a fierce life-and-death contest for survival.

Indigenous Educational Leadership Through Community-Based Knowledge and Research highlights the Native American Leadership in Education (NALE) heartwork. The edited collection illuminates the beauty and essence of NALE, which uniquely conceptualizes Indigenous leadership identity, philosophy, community leadership, and research in ways that have empowered students and graduates to conceptualize and live out their ancestors’ prayers and legacy.
The editors provide samples of how they have achieved this through the sharing of some of the NALE graduates’ and current students’ heartwork. Collectively, the chapters provide a lens through which we can view and center Indigenous educational leadership.

Though highly esteemed internationally in both visual art and poetry circles, Cole’s association with the New College of California and her influence on artists and poets has been overlooked by scholars. In “That Tongue Be Time,” Dale M. Smith seeks to remedy this oversight by bringing together sixteen noted scholars, editors, and poets to examine Cole’s poetry, translations, and visual art in order to place her within the larger scholarly conversation about contemporary poetry and poetics. The book also includes a number of black-and-white reproductions of Cole’s art and a contextual introduction by Smith. “That Tongue Be Time” provides a groundbreaking look at Norma Cole’s lasting influence on multiple generations of poets, visual artists, and scholars and should be on the shelf of anyone interested in contemporary poetry.

Geopoetry
Geology, Materiality, Ecopoetics
d ale e nggass
At its core, geopoetics proposes that a connection between language and geology has become a significant development in post–World War II poetics. In Geopoetry, Dale Enggass argues that certain literary works enact geologic processes, such as erosion and deposition, and thereby suggest that language itself is a geologic––and not a solely humanbased––process. Elements of language extend past human control and open onto an inhuman dimension, which raises the question of how literary works approach the representation of nonhuman realms. Enggass examines the work of Clark Coolidge, Robert Smithson, Ed Dorn, Maggie O’Sullivan, Jeremy Prynne, Jen Bervin, Christian Bök, and Steve McCaffery, and he finds that while many of these authors are not traditionally connected to ecocritical writing, their innovations are central to ecocritical concerns. In treating language as a geological material, these authors interrogate the boundary between human and nonhuman realms and offer a model for a complex literary engagement with the Anthropocene.

A Description of Acquaintance
The Letters of Laura Riding and Gertrude Stein, 1927–1930
e dited by l ogan e sdale and Jane m alcolm
Gertrude Stein and Laura Riding enjoyed a fascinating if brief three-year friendship via correspondence between 1927 and 1930, and in A Description of Acquaintance, Logan Esdale and Jane Malcolm make the letters available to a larger audience for the first time. Riding and Stein are important figures in twentieth-century poetry and poetics and are considered progenitors of later movements such as L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry. The editors contextualize their relationship and its time period with an introduction; annotations to the letters; and supplementary materials, including pieces by Stein and Riding that exemplify their singular perspectives on modernism as well as their personal poetics. The book provides unique insight into Stein’s and Riding’s writing processes as well as the larger literary world around them, making it a must-read for anyone interested in twentieth-century poetry.

Religion in the Américas
Trans-hemispheric and Transcultural Approaches
e dited by c hristopher d . t irres and Jessica l . d elgado
Religion in the Américas explores the fluid, dynamic, and complex nature of religion across Latin America and its diasporic communities in the United States. Utilizing a transdisciplinary and trans-hemispheric lens, this groundbreaking anthology transcends traditional scholarly boundaries—geographical, disciplinary, and temporal—as it explores ideas and cultural practices that share a common history of Iberian colonialism.
Focusing on religion as a culturally conditioned epistemic practice, Religion in the Américas invites readers to engage with religion in the Americas on multiple, intersecting levels of knowledge, including local insights, scholarly analyses, and the positionality and queries of readers themselves. The book’s dialogical approach encourages not only continual reevaluation of the complexities of religious experience in the Americas but also creative innovation that will inspire new avenues of inquiry.

Representations of Difference in Contemporary Chilean Historical Fiction
k atherine k arr- c orne J o
A study of the relationship between literature and the current conditions of national life, We Are All Chile explores how artistic expression reflects lived experience. The book travels through figures, symbols, and events in Chilean history from the sixteenth to the end of the nineteenth centuries as represented through historical fiction of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, an oeuvre that uses historical stories to reflect upon the challenges of Chilean society post-dictatorship. Contrasting the use of these stories with previous understanding highlights the power of legacies of the dictatorial authoritarian state, particularly as they shape possibilities for the full flourishing of people without regard for their minoritized or disadvantaged identities, such as their sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or race. This treatment of Chilean history and culture brings together literature and historiography to offer powerful interpretations of cultural narratives.

Silver Medalist at the 24th International Latino Book Awards
Alejandro Morales is a pioneer of Chicana and Chicano literature and the author of groundbreaking works including The Brick People, The Rag Doll Plagues, and River of Angels. His work, often experimental, was one of the first to depict harsh urban realities in the barrios—a break from much of the Chicana and Chicano fiction that had been published previously. Morales’ relentless work has grown over the decades into a veritable menagerie of cultural testimonies, fantastic counterhistories, magical realism, challenging metanarratives, and flesh-and-blood aesthetic innovation. The fourteen essays included in this compendium examine Morales’ novels and short stories. The editors also include a critical introduction; an interview between Morales, the editors, and fellow author Daniel Olivas; and a new comprehensive bibliography of Morales’ writings and works about him. A Critical Collection on Alejandro Morales: Forging an Alternative Chicano Fiction is a must-read for understanding and appreciating Morales’ work in particular and Chicana and Chicano literature in general.

Under the Cap of Invisibility
The Pantex Nuclear Weapons Plant and the Texas Panhandle
l ucie g enay; f oreword by a lex h unt
Pantex was built during World War II near the town of Amarillo, Texas. The site was converted early in the Cold War to assemble nuclear weapons and produce high explosives. For nearly fifty years Pantex has been the sole assembly and disassembly plant for nuclear weapons in the United States. Today, most of the activities of the plant consist of the manufacture of high explosive components and the dismantlement or life extension of weapons, including retrofitting aging warheads in the United States’s arsenal.
Unlike the much more famous nuclear-weapons-production sites at Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Hanford, and Rocky Flats, the Pantex plant has drawn little attention, hidden under a metaphoric “cap of invisibility.” Lucie Genay now lifts that invisibility cap to give the world its first in-depth look at Pantex and the people who have spent their lives as neighbors and employees of this secretive industry. The book investigates how Pantex has impacted local identity by molding elements of the past into the guaranty of its future and its concealment.

The Latino Big Bang in California presents a Spanish transcription and English translation of a diary written by Forty-Niner Justo Veytia, a Mexican immigrant seeking riches during California’s Gold Rush. Veytia’s diary offers insights into the dilemmas and choices of an adventurous and ambitious young mexicano and provides a detailed glimpse into the life of Latinos who participated in this tumultuous moment in California history. In doing so, Veytia’s diary demonstrates that the US-Mexico War together with the Gold Rush constituted a Latino “big bang” in California that attracted large swaths of fortune seekers from across the Spanish-speaking world throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century. Combining archival research with quantitative methods to extrapolate demographic information about the persistent presence of Latino communities in California from the mid-nineteenth century to today, The Latino Big Bang in California shows how Latino migration and labor forever changed the course of California history.

The University of New Mexico Press, founded in 1929, plays a vital role in preserving the cultures, languages, and histories of New Mexico and the Southwest. Our purpose is to advance and disseminate knowledge through the publication of books and electronic media, educate present and future generations, and further the mission of the University of New Mexico, supporting research, education, and community service.
Your financial support matters!
UNM Press is an internationally known and respected publisher, and, like all nonprofit university presses, we need outside financial support from generous individuals and foundations to meet our publishing objectives. Gifts to the Press enable us to
• Pursue creative initiatives that reflect the dynamic changes in today’s publishing industry
• Disseminate educational content for children and for future generations
• Produce important works of scholarship that may not recover their costs
To discuss funding opportunities at the Press, including financial gifts to individual books, publication series, or our general endowment, please contact:
Stephen P. Hull, director sphull@unm.edu
Gifts to the University of New Mexico Press are tax deductible as charitable contributions. The Internal Revenue Service Code requires nonprofit organizations to provide donors with a good faith estimate of the value of any benefits provided as a result of their gifts. Gift options include cash, bequests or memorial gifts, stocks, bonds, real property, and annuities.
Prices shown are effective January 1, 2025, and are subject to change without notice.
The University of New Mexico Press is a member of the Association of University Presses.
