Conclusion --Notes --Bibliography --IndexWith the arrival of the transcontinental railroad in the 1880's came the emergence of a modern and profoundly multicultural New Mexico. Native Americans, working-class Mexicans, elite Hispanos, and black and white newcomers all commingled and interacted in the territory in ways that had not been previously possible. But what did it mean to be white in this multiethnic milieu? And how did ideas of sexuality and racial supremacy shape ideas of citizenry and determine who would govern the region? Coyote Nation considers these questions as it explores how New Mexicans evaluated and categorized racial identities through bodily practices. Where ethnic groups were numerous and-in the wake of miscegenation-often difficult to discern, the ways one dressed, bathed, spoke, gestured, or even stood were largely instrumental in conveying one's race. Even such practices as cutting one's hair, shopping, drinking alcohol, or embalming a deceased loved one could inextricably link a person to a very specific racial identity. A fascinating history of an extraordinarily plural and polyglot region, Coyote Nation will be of value to historians of race and ethnicity in American culture.Worlds of desire.RacismNew MexicoHistoryImperialismSocial aspectsNew MexicoHistoryHuman bodySocial aspectsNew MexicoHistoryMind and bodyNew MexicoHistorySexSocial aspectsNew MexicoHistorySex customsNew MexicoHistoryNew MexicoRace relationsNew MexicoSocial conditions19th centuryNew MexicoSocial conditions20th centuryRacismHistory.ImperialismSocial aspectsHistory.Human bodySocial aspectsHistory.Mind and bodyHistory.SexSocial aspectsHistory.Sex customsHistory.978.9/04Mitchell Pablo968143MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828347703321Coyote nation2198845UNINA
