An updated edition of a seminal work on the history of land
ownership in the SouthwestIn New Mexico - once a Spanish colony,
then part of Mexico - Pueblo Indians and descendants of Spanish-
and Mexican-era settlers still think of themselves as distinct
peoples, each with a dynamic history. At the core of these
persistent cultural identities is each group's historical
relationship to the others and to the land, a connection that
changed dramatically when the United States wrested control of the
region from Mexico in 1848. In Roots of Resistance - now offered in
an updated paperback edition - Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz provides a
history of land ownership in northern New Mexico from 1680 to the
present. She shows how indigenous and Mexican farming communities
adapted and preserved their fundamental democratic social and
economic institutions, despite losing control of their land to
capitalist entrepreneurs and becoming part of a low-wage labor
force. In a new final chapter, Dunbar-Ortiz applies the lessons of
this history to recent conflicts in New Mexico over ownership and
use of land and control of minerals, timber, and water.
