Betwixt and Between: Negotiating Hispanic Identity from Past to Present

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Chicanx Archaeology" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Research on Hispanic-descent communities in the American West appears to be betwixt and between discussions of indigeneity and nation-building, and for good reason. Drawing on historical and archaeological research of Spanish colonial land grants from the northern and middle Rio Grande, this paper examines some of the ways "Spanish" settlers navigated the tumultuous and often hostile environments they inhabited, and how those practices may have implications for present-day New Mexican Hispano/a-Chicano/a identities.
