Politica offers a stunning revisionist understanding of the early
political incorporation of Mexican-origin peoples into the U.S.
body politic in the nineteenth century. Historical sociologist
Phillip B. Gonzales reexamines the fundamental issue in New
Mexico's history, namely, the dramatic shift in national identities
initiated by Nuevomexicanos when their province became ruled by the
United States. Gonzales provides an insightful, rigorous, and
controversial interpretation of how Nuevomexicano political
competition was woven into the Democratic and Republican two-party
system that emerged in the United States between the 1850s and
1912, when New Mexico became a state. Drawing on newly discovered
archival and primary sources, he explores how Nuevomexicanos relied
on a long tradition of political engagement and a preexisting
republican disposition and practice to elaborate a dual-party
political system mirroring the contours of U.S. national politics.
Politica is a tour de force of political history in the
nineteenth-century U.S.-Mexico borderlands that reinterprets
colonization, reconstructs Euro-American and Nuevomexicano
relations, and recasts the prevailing historical narrative of
territorial expansion and incorporation in North American imperial
history. Gonzales provides critical insights into several discrete
historical processes, such as U.S. racialization and citizenship,
integration and marginalization, accommodation and resistance,
internal colonialism, and the long struggle for political inclusion
in the borderlands, shedding light on debates taking place today
over Latinos and U.S. citizenship.
