PUEBLO SOVEREIGNTY

BY MALCOLM EBRIGHT & RICK HENDRICKS

 

Over five centuries of foreign rule — by Spain, Mexico, and the United States — Native American pueblos have confronted attacks on their sovereignty and encroachments on their land and water rights. How five New Mexico and Texas pueblos did this, in some cases multiple times, forms the history of cultural resilience and tenacity chronicled in Pueblo Sovereignty by two of New Mexico’s most distinguished legal historians.

COLONIAL NEW MEXICO FAMILIES

BY SUZANNE M STAMATOV

 

In villas scattered across the north of Spain’s New World empire, family mattered. In this book, Suzanne Stamatov skillfully relies on both ecclesiastical and civil records to explore how families formed and endured during the eighteenth century. Stamatov also places family in its larger contexts of church, secular governance, and community and reveals how these exchanges—both mundane and dramatic—wove families into the enduring networks that created an intimate colonial New Mexico.
