For over forty years aural historian Jack Loeffler has wandered the
West engaging people in conversations and recording those
conversations for posterity. When asked by the New Mexico
Humanities Council to produce an anthology of interviews that would
combine elements of two projects sponsored by the Council, the
Between Fences traveling exhibition and a project focused on the
Great Depression and New Deal, Loeffler turned to the landscape of
the Continental Divide and the diverse cultures that inhabit both
sides of its arid terrain.
Hopi, Navajo, Rio Grande Puebloan, Hispano, and Anglo cultures
are represented in three sections of interviews that respectively
address shifting cultural boundaries, explore the effects in New
Mexico of the New Deal's attempts to reinvigorate the economy and
mainstream American culture, and suggest ways of delving into the
difficult situations that face the West today. Together, these
diverse perspectives reveal the rich cultural mosaic that has
evolved in this extraordinary landscape.
