Refusing the Favour examines the experience of Spanish-Mexican women before and after conquest of the area that became New Mexico. This book will be of use to those with an interest in Western history, gender studies, Chicano/a studies, and the history of borderlands and colonization.
Refusing the Favor unveils a method for understanding how Mexico's northern land, New Mexico, came under the authority of the United States and what role women played in the political game of takeover. By not losing sight of the Spanish-Mexican women of Santa Fe, the most populated town west of the Mississippi until the California Gold Rush, it places gender squarely in the middle of the dialogue about conquest.
"Three Decades of Engendering History" collects ten of Antonia I. Castaneda's best articles, including the widely circulated article "Engendering the History of Alta California, 1769-1848," in which Castaneda took a direct and honest look at sex and gender relations in colonial California, exposing stories of violence against women as well as stories of survival and resistance. Other articles included are the prize-winning "Women of Color and the Rewriting of Western History," and two recent articles, "Lullabies y Canciones de Cuna" and "La Despedida." The latter two represent Castaneda's most recent work excavating, mapping, and bringing forth the long and strong post-WWII history of Tejanas. Finally, the volume includes three interviews with Antonia Castaneda that contribute the important narrative of her lived experience--the "theory in the flesh" and politics of necessity that fueled her commitment to transformative scholarship that highlights gender and Chicanas as a legitimate line of inquiry.
