This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pays homage to the counterculture movement through the words and photographs of a select gathering of people who lived it. At its height in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the counterculture movement permeated every region of America as thousands of activists took on the establishment. Although counterculture has often been trivialized as “dirty hippies” and “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll,” committed activists formed powerful strands of resistance to the political/military/industrial complex. American Indians, Hispanos, Blacks, and Anglos joined in marches and protests—often at their peril. Veterans of Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, communards in northern New Mexico, practitioners of drug-induced mysticism, disciplined seekers of spiritual awakening, back-to-the-landers, defenders of wilderness—counterculturalists all—questioned, reframed, and redefined American and global perspectives that remain to this day. The American Southwest became a haven for individuals from both coasts seeking refuge in this vast landscape. Many found an affinity with the native cultures and local inhabitants who were already here. Others joined forces to combat the Vietnam War, racial discrimination, and pillaging of the environment. Still others founded communes based on diverse cultures of practice. Movement leaders organized community events, protests, and spoke for their generation; many used their talents as writers, musicians, artists, and photographers to express their angst and promote change. Jack Loeffler draws from his extensive archive of recorded interviews and transcribed conversations with contemporaries—among them writers, artists, elders, activists, and scholars—including Philip Whalen, Gary Snyder, Edward Abbey, Shonto Begay, Camillus Lopez, Tara Evonne Trudell, Roberta Blackgoat, Richard Grow, Alvin Josephy, David Brower, Dave Foreman, Elinor Ostrom, Fritjof Capra, and Melissa Savage. The book includes personal essays by Yvonne Bond, Peter Coyote, Lisa Law, Peter Rowan, Siddiq Hans von Briesen, Art Kopecky, Bill Steen, Sylvia Rodríguez, Enrique R. Lamadrid, Levi Romero, Rina Swentzell, Gary Paul Nabhan, Meredith Davidson, and Jack Loeffler. It includes photographs by Lisa Law, Seth Roffman, Terrence Moore, and others.

Download or read book Voices of New Mexico, Too written by Paul F. Rhetts and published by Rio Grande Books. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Mexico Voices, Too is the second book in the series to honor New Mexico and to give writers the chance to express themselves. This book is mostly about New Mexicans but things can also be human in nature like the Sandia mountains. Poetry, historical essays, and essays about mentors, family and friends are all part of the mix. These essays and poems - by seventeen New Mexico authors - are on all subjects and give the reader a wide range of ideas and topics. This is a project of the New Mexico Book Co-op, a collaborative organization designed to help its 1,400 members join together in their love for the printed word. The New Mexico Book Co-op has novelists, poets, history writers, children's writers, comic book writers, bloggers, consultants, booksellers, readers, and others who strive to share their knowledge about the book in this changing world. Collectively, Co-op members want to showcase New Mexico's long history with book publishing. Books still make a difference and these essays and poems show how important people can be in the lives of New Mexicans. They say writers write because they are compelled to do so. While it is possible my writing is motivated by such a compulsion, I write mostly because there is so much to write about; so much about New Mexico's history that still needs to be told; so many voices from the past that cry out to be heard. "I too lived here and contributed to what we are today," they seem to say; and I hear the voices and write so they might not be forgotten.-Robert J. Torrez, New Mexico State Historian (1987-2000) and contributor to Voices of New Mexico (2011)

Download or read book Voices from the Past written by Robert J. Tórrez and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Voices From The Past" is presented in three parts. The first is a series of columns that tell of places, people and events during the Spanish (1598-1821) and Mexican (1821-1846) eras of New Mexico history. These stories range from the mundane, such as the formal contract for a horse race held in 1846 (the results of which remain unknown); the building of a bridge over the Rio Grande and the regulations for branding livestock, to the serious business of the orderly succession of the Office of Governor during the Mexican era and the unknown fate of six Apache captives in the early 18th century. Part two extends the theme of people, places and events into our Territorial period (1846-1912), although a few expend that time line beyond 1912, into early statehood. Part three covers a wide variety of stories about the men and women we learn about because they got into trouble with the law. These stories are taken from a broad variety of archival sources found at the state archives, including the extensive penal papers found in the records of New Mexico's territorial-era governors and the district courts, as well as reports of crime and punishment found in period newspapers. It is great fun to come across a newspaper story on a crime, be it a robbery or murder, and then find an associated record of indictment, trail, and sentence (as well as acquittals) in the archives' district court records, and subsequently, as in the 1893 case of José D. Gallegos, the subject of the Penitentiary of New Mexico's first "mug shot," records of incarceration in the territorial penitentiary. The fifty-four columns in this volume are but a small sample of those stories that we hope will not only entertain, but enhance the reader's knowledge and appreciation of New Mexico's extraordinary past."--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although their total numbers in New Mexico were never large, blacks arrived with Spanish explorers and settlers and played active roles in the history of the territory and state. Here, Bruce Glasrud assembles the best information available on the themes, events, and personages of black New Mexico history. The contributors portray the blacks who accompanied Cabeza de Vaca, Coronado and de Vargas and recount their interactions with Native Americans in colonial New Mexico. Chapters on the territorial period examine black trappers and traders as well as review the issue of slavery in the territory and the blacks who accompanied Confederate troops and fought in the Union army during the Civil War in New Mexico. Eventually blacks worked on farms and ranches, in mines, and on railroads as well as in the military, seeking freedom and opportunity in New Mexico’s wide open spaces. A number of black towns were established in rural areas. Lacking political power because they represented such a small percentage of New Mexico’s population, blacks relied largely on their own resources and networks, particularly churches and schools.

Book excerpt: A rollicking debut book of essays that takes readers on a trip through the muck of American myths that have settled in the desert of our country’s underbelly Early on July 16, 1945, Joshua Wheeler’s great grandfather awoke to a flash, and then a long rumble: the world’s first atomic blast filled the horizon north of his ranch in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Out on the range, the cattle had been bleached white by the fallout. Acid West, Wheeler’s stunning debut collection of essays, is full of these mutated cows: vestiges of the Old West that have been transformed, suddenly and irrevocably, by innovation. Traversing the New Mexico landscape his family has called home for seven generations, Wheeler excavates and reexamines these oddities, assembling a cabinet of narrative curiosities: a man who steps from the stratosphere and free-falls to the desert; a treasure hunt for buried Atari video games; a village plagued by the legacy of atomic testing; a showdown between Billy the Kid and the author of Ben-Hur; a UFO festival during the paranoid Summer of Snowden. The radical evolution of American identity, from cowboys to drone warriors to space explorers, is a story rooted in southern New Mexico. Acid West illuminates this history, clawing at the bounds of genre to reveal a place that is, for better or worse, home. By turns intimate, absurd, and frightening, Acid West is an enlightening deep-dive into a prophetic desert at the bottom of America.
