Nacion Genizara : Ethnogenesis, Place, and Identity in New Mexico Hardback
Edited by Moises Gonzales, Enrique R. Lamadrid
Part of the Querencias Series series
Hardback
Description
Nación GenÃzara examines the history, cultural evolution, and survival of the GenÃzaro people.
The Contributors to this volume cover topics including ethnogenesis, slavery, Settlements, poetics, religion, gender, family history, and mestizo genetics.
Fray Angélico Chávez defined GenÃzaro as the ethnic term given to indigenous people of mixed tribal origins living among the Hispano population in Spanish fashion.
They entered colonial society as captives taken during wars with Utes, Apaches, Comanches, Kiowas, Navajos, and Pawnees.
GenÃzaros comprised a third of the population by 1800.
Many assimilated into Hispano and Pueblo society, but others in the land-grant communities maintained their identity through ritual, self-government, and kinship. Today the persistence of GenÃzaro identity blurs the lines of distinction between Native and Hispanic frameworks of race and cultural affiliation.
This is the first study to focus exclusively on the detribalized Native experience of the GenÃzaro in New Mexico.
