Twenty Thousand Years of New Mexico History - by Frances Leon Swadesh (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

In all the United States, New Mexico is unmatched for the depth of its traditions, its history, and for its multicultural network. The state is a veritable laboratory for study of the ways groups have met and influenced one another. This bibliography provides a fairly inclusive but far from complete listing of the best published sources testifying to New Mexico's record of cultural continuity and intercultural mingling. Many good readings not listed are either unpublished, difficult to obtain or more technical than the readings offered. * * * * * Frances Leon Swadesh graduated from Vassar College and did her graduate study at Yale University and the University of Colorado, her major area of study being anthropology. Dr. Swadesh has been the Curator of Ethnology at the Museum of New Mexico Research Laboratory and is the author of numerous scholarly articles on anthropology and Hispanic New Mexico.
