For Brent, Nathan, and Paige, who have spent their entire lives thus far with a father constantly working on a dissertation, and especially for Pauline, whose love and support has made the completion of this work possible. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I must admit that there were many moments during which I could not imagine that this project would ever reach completion. My gratitude goes out to Dr. Linda B. Hall, my advisor and dissertation committee chair. Without her support, I may never have entered the Ph.D. program. As I worked to complete my coursework, her guidance led me toward this project. I am forever in debt to her constant encouragement, constructive feedback, and thoughtful questioning. This work has benefitted tremendously from her critical eye. Indeed, during my time in the history graduate program as her advisee, I have matured intellectually and am now able to see the past from perspectives that I never could have recognized prior to graduate school. I would also like to thank the other members of my dissertation committee, Dr. Samuel Truett, Dr. Maria Lane, and Dr. Judy Bieber. Over the years, all of them have helped me to think more deeply and critically about the past. Along the way, their enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity was always contagious. They have each helped me to grow as a scholar and teacher. I would especially like to thank Dr. Bieber; she has always provided gracious and insightful feedback on my work. This time, she stepped up at the last minute to serve as a member of my dissertation committee. Grants in 2006 and 2009 from the UNM History Graduate Students Association (HGSA) allowed me to begin preliminary work on this project by supporting research on the history of the Mormon colonies in Chihuahua. Additionally, the New Mexico Office of the State Historian’s Scholars Program provided funding for research in Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Deming, and Columbus in 2008 and 2010. Along with financial support, iv former State Historian Estevan Rael-Gálvez and Assistant State Historian Dennis Trujillo imparted their knowledge of the New Mexico and Chihuahua archives. Felicia Lujan provided invaluable assistance in navigating the collections held at the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives. At the Center for Southwest Research at UNM, Ann Massmann aided my search for information on Pancho Villa’s connections to New Mexico. I am deeply grateful for the hospitality of Richard and Betty Dean in Columbus. They opened not only their personal archives but also their home to me. During my research in Mexico City, I had the great fortune of meeting Dr. Katherine Morrissey. As we both sought our footing in the city’s archives, we also became friends. Aida Bautista’s work as a researcher in the Archivo General de la Nación (AGN) allowed me to gain access to archival materials prior to my research trip. I am glad that I was able to meet her in person when I was in Mexico. In Ciudad Chihuahua, archivist Carmen Muñoz Herrera located materials in the collections of the Instituto Chihuahuense de la Cultura (ICHICULT). She also put me in contact with Professor Ramón Ramírez Tafoya, chronicler of La Ascensión. Although we never met in person, Ramón was always willing to share his findings, as well as archival data. At a time when I was unable to travel to La Ascensión and Palomas, he connected me to the region’s history and culture. I was shocked to learn of his untimely death in the fall of 2012. His kindness and passion for the history of his home community will be sorely missed. From afar, Dr. José Angel Hernández offered thoughtful feedback on an early version of Chapter 3. I am grateful for his insights on the history of La Ascensión and migrations in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands in the nineteenth century. His comments helped me to clarify and crystalize my interpretations and arguments. v I want to also mention a few of the great friends I made during my time in the UNM history graduate program. They have always freely offered friendship and scholarly support. Julian Dodson, Becky Ellis, Shawn Austin, Scott Crago, Meg Frisbee, Donna Peterson, Brian Turo, Brian Thompson, and Cesar Estrada have always been willing to listen when I have needed another perspective. There are also numerous others—too many to name individually—that have supported my intellectual pursuits; thank you all. My parents have been a source of support and inspiration throughout my life; I am grateful for their aid to this project as well. My children, Brent, Nathan, and Paige, have yet to know a time when I did not have some work to do on this project. Their curiosity and questions helped me to think about scholarly pursuits from a unique perspective. Finally, my wife Pauline has offered encouragement and support all along the way. I can truly say that without her, this project would never have come to fruition. vi COLUMBUS, NEW MEXICO, AND PALOMAS CHIHAUAHUA: TRANSNATIONAL LANDSCAPES OF VIOLENCE, 1888-1930 BY BRANDON MORGAN B.A., History and Spanish M.A., History Ph.D., History ABSTRACT In examining the area surrounding Columbus, New Mexico, and Palomas, Chihuahua, as a landscape of violence, this dissertation historicizes the process by which violent actions create a sense of place. Although neither town is considered large enough to be of much consequence, both were targeted by bellicose campaigns that sought to destabilize the Mexican state during the Porfiriato and the Mexican Revolution. Raids on the Palomas customs house were, at least in part, responses to the drive of the Mexican government under Porfirio Díaz to create modern progress and order in Mexico. For many inhabitants of rural northwestern Chihuahua, the imposition of capitalist modes of land and resource ownership, delineation, and exchange deprived them of access to a livelihood. The dissertation, therefore, considers as violence the reallocation of resources under the modern capitalist notion of law and order. By employing a broad definition of violence, seemingly disparate actions, such as land surveys and insurgencies, are juxtaposed in order to highlight the connections between them. vii The dissertation shows the various ways in which violence was at once a destructive as well as creative force along the New Mexico-Chihuahua border between 1888 and 1930. The violence of new legal and land regimes that left colonists and settlers of northwestern Chihuahua without access to land and resources was answered through the violence of armed movements that specifically targeted the towns of Las Palomas, La Ascensión, and Columbus—sites of intensified development efforts around the turn of the century. By drawing on geographers’ and sociologists’ theories of legal and spatial violence, this dissertation places these actions in their proper context as localized movements for social and economic justice, rather than haphazard precursors to the subsequent Mexican Revolution. In this context, Pancho Villa’s Raid on Columbus is not simply an isolated incident that spilled over from the larger struggle of the Mexican Revolution. It is part of a dialectic of violence specific to the New Mexico-Chihuahua border region. viii Table of Contents Chapter 1: Introduction: The Lower Mimbres Valley and Landscapes of Violence ............... 1 Chapter 2: Remaking Indigenous Space: Chiricahua Apache Land Dispossession in the New Mexico-Chihuahua Borderlands ............................................................................................. 32 Chapter 3: The Violence of Capitalist Accumulation in the Borderlands: The Story of the Failed Deming, Sierra Madre, and Pacific Railroad ............................................................... 85 Chapter 4: A Violent Dialectic: Las Palomas Customs House Raid, 1893 .......................... 130 Chapter 5: The Second Founding of Columbus: Place Myth and Revolution ...................... 184 Chapter 6: Pancho Villa’s Raid on Columbus: The Transformation of the Local Place Myth ..............................................................................................................................................

Their original numb_ers were augmented by the immigration of converts from Europe and from Great Britain. By 1887 it was estimated that more than 85,000 immigrants had entered the Great Basin as a result of for­ eign missionary work, one of the strong features of the Mormon religion.1 The early Mormon colonies in Utah, largely agricultural, were distinguished by the efficient organization of the church and by a spirit of cooperation among the colonists.

    Elizabeth and Harold Hinds Imholte Hall, University of Minnesota-Morris Imholte Hall, Main Floor Walk-in Display Huichol yarn art. This piece depicts a ceiba tree with a bird. Beside it a man shoots a bow and arrow. Other insect- like forms fly about. These hallucinatory images are traditional for the Huicholes, who used peyote to bring on visions. Originally a traditional art form, yarn paintings became popular as tourist art. This piece was purchased at Tlaquepaque, a town just outside of Guadalajara, in the 1970’s. The story on the back reads: Los Huicholes no conocían el maíz en tiempos antiguos. Una vez un niño se enteró de que había gente allende las montañas “que tienen algo que llaman maíz,” y fue en su busaca. En camino se encontró con un grupo de hombres que le dijeron que (h)iba a comprar maíz y el, confiando, les acompañó. Lo que no sabía es que esa gente eran en realidad hormigas (los insectos en esta ilustración). La Gente Hormiga que ro(b)e todo lo que encuentra. Al llegar la madrugada se despertó. Bajo un gran pino y descubrió que le habían roido (robado) toda la ropa, el cabello e inclusive las cejas, y que solamente le quedaban el arco y las flechas. Oyó que un pájaro se pasaba en un árbol, y le apuntó con una flecha, pues tenía hambre. El pájaro le reveló que era Tatey Kukurú Uimári, Nuestra Madre Paloma Muchacha, la Madre del Maíz. Le dijo que siguiera a su casa, donde le daría maíz. Translation: The Huichol people didn’t know about maize in ancient times.

VALUES IN TRANSITION: THE CHIRICAHUA APACHE FROM 1886-1914 John W Ragsdale, Jr.* Abstract Law confirms but seldom determines the course of a society. Values and beliefs, instead, are the true polestars, incrementally implemented by the laws, customs, and policies. The Chiricahua Apache, a tribal society of hunters, gatherers, and raiders in the mountains and deserts of the Southwest, were squeezed between the growing populations and economies of the United States and Mexico. Raiding brought response, reprisal, and ultimately confinement at the loathsome San Carlos Reservation. Though most Chiricahua submitted to the beginnings of assimilation, a number of the hardiest and least malleable did not. Periodic breakouts, wild raids through New Mexico and Arizona, and a labyrinthian, nearly impenetrable sanctuary in the Sierra Madre led the United States to an extraordinary and unprincipled overreaction.

  • La Literatura Hispanoamericana Y El Exilio
    LA LITERATURA HISPANOAMERICANA Y EL EXILIO POR CLAUDE CYMERMAN Universitd de Rouen, France Dijo unavez Julio Cortizar: "Algin dia en las historias de la literatura latinoamericana habrt un capitulo que sera el de la literatura del exilio."' De hecho, el exilio es tan antiguo en Hispanoamdrica como la misma historia del continente desde la Independencia y buena parte de la literatura hispanoamericana ha sido escrita en el exilio. Eduardo Galeano sefiala acertadamente que "las novelas mss latinoamericanas de estos iltimos tiempos fueron escritas fuera de nuestras fronteras." 2 Y Juan Jose Saer insiste, por su parte, sobre el hecho de que "toda la literatura argentina del siglo XIX fue escrita por exiliados."3 El primero, Ricardo Rojas, habia abonado el terreno al escribir, en 1919, el capitulo "Los proscriptos" de su Historiade la literaturaargentina. Hoy, el espacio y el momento son otros. No se trata tan s6lo del exilio argentino -imuy concurrido por otra parte!- ni del siglo XIX. En esta dpoca finisecular que es la nuestra se trata -i sin la pretensi6n de emular a Rojas!- de acercarnos al tema de la literatura del exilio de los decenios 70 y 80 de nuestra vigesima centuria. Trigico y cruento periodo en que se dieron las, probablemente, peores dictaduras militares que ensangrentaron la historia de las naciones del Cono Sur Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay- sin que los quebrantos de la politica hayan dejado totalmente a salvo otras repiblicas como Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Peri, El Salvador o Venezuela, por no tener que enumerar a la casi totalidad de los paises hispanoamericanos. Forzoso es constatar, por otra parte, que la revoluci6n castrista, despu6s de derrotar a la dictadura de Battista, ha incurrido en un totalitarismo que ha llevado al exilio a numerosos cubanos y a muchos intelectuales de la isla.

To test the new regime’s democratic viability, Fox’s administration had to settle accounts with the PRI for the abuses the party had perpetrated in the past, but without upsetting it in order to preserve the stability of the new regime.

The turbulence of the Mexican Revo­ lution began in 1910 with the overthrow of Porfirio Diaz by the movement of Francisco 1. Madero. In 1913 !he tenuous regime of Madero was violently replaced by that of Victoriano Huerta, and the turmoil continued unabated. Faced with major revolutions led by Venustiano Carranza, Francisco Villa, and Emiliano Zapata, Huerta fled Mexico in mid-1914 as the opposition armies con­ verged on Mexico City. Despite the efforts of the new victors to achieve a unified government at the Convention of Aguascalientes in 1914, Carranza's Constitutionalists soon fell into quarreling among themselves and the Revolution entered its most violent phase. Representing the Constitutionalist government of Mexico, Venustiano Carranza and Alvaro Obreg6n arrayed themselves against Francisco Villa and Emiliano Zapata, who purported to represent the cause of the Convention.

  • Socioeconomic Inequalities Among the Municipalities of Chihuahua, Mexico
    T h e J o u r n a l o f D e v e l o p i n g A r e a s Volume 55 No. 3 Summer 2021 SOCIOECONOMIC INEQUALITIES AMONG THE MUNICIPALITIES OF CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO Omolara Adebimpe Adekanbi Isaac Sánchez-Juárez Both affiliated with Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez, México ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to analyze the nature of inequalities among the municipalities of Chihuahua State, Mexico and the factors that contribute to the disparity. The state of Chihuahua has a deep household inequality due to the nature of the inhabitants’ occupations and comprises a significant percentage of the people living in poverty in Mexico because of social deprivation and low income. Previous studies on inequality in Mexico show that significant differences among the municipalities is caused by factors such as marginalization, low economic activity, and informal activities while some other studies have used similar variables selected from social and economic sphere. All these works used these variables to obtain the socioeconomic development index for each region under study. Following the methodology used in de Haro et al. (2017), this paper examines the social and economic conditions of the 67 municipalities of Chihuahua State by calculating the Socioeconomic Development Index (SEDI) of each municipality using the data compiled on variables such as marginalization, degree of urbanization, gross economic activity rate, economic dependence coefficient and density of paved roads. The result shows that two municipalities: Juarez and Chihuahua City have the most favorable socioeconomic conditions due to a high urban density and a low marginalization.
