[eBook] [PDF] For No Separate Refuge 35th (Anniversary) By Sarah Deutsch

After the Mexican-American War, when the United States took control of the Southwest, Anglos (white settlers) and Hispanics (Spanish-speaking people) in the region continued to fight for control. Sarah Deutsch looks at how Anglos and Hispanics used cultural and economic strategies to compete for land, resources, and power, and how this fight affected Hispanic work, communities, and gender roles.

In this book, Deutsch explores the mix of culture, class, and gender in different places where Anglos and Hispanics lived and worked, like Hispanic villages, coal mining towns, and sugar beet farms in Colorado and New Mexico. She shows how people were connected by shared experiences and family ties. Deutsch focuses on the role of women in these changes and how Hispanic work, communities, and gender roles changed over time. Using interviews, letters, and other records, she tracks these changes from one state to another and from one decade to the next, making an important contribution to the history of the Southwest, race relations, labor, agriculture, women, and Chicano history. This updated edition looks back at the book’s impact on the study of the Southwest and the relationships between different groups.
