El Rancho de las Golondrinas Spring Lecture Series - Mar. 25
“Manifest Destinies: The Making of the Mexican-American Race” This presentation will invite the audience to consider the 1846-1911 period of New Mexico history as one of U.S. colonialism. It will focus on two key moments within that period: (1) the first American trials in NM, which were trials for murder and treason in Santa Fe and Taos and which resulted in the hangings of some dozen Hispano men; (2) the origins of a claim to “Spanish” heritage and identity on the part of native Hispanos, beginning in the late 19th century. The lecture will explore the relevance of these moments as New Mexico looks to 100 years of statehood.
Laura E. Gómez, Professor of Law and American Studies at the University of New Mexico discusses the role history, culture and race have played in Hispanic issues in America. Her educational background includes an A.B. from Harvard in Social Studies, an M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology from Stanford University, and a J.D. from Stanford Law School.
