Editorial Reviews
Product Description
In Roots of Resistance--now offered in an updated paperback edition--Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz provides a history of land ownership in northern New Mexico from 1680 to the present. She shows how indigenous and Mexican farming communities adapted and preserved their fundamental democratic social and economic institutions, despite losing control of their land to capitalist entrepreneurs and becoming part of a low-wage labor force.
In a new final chapter, Dunbar-Ortiz applies the lessons of this history to recent conflicts in New Mexico over ownership and use of land and control of minerals, timber, and water.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Roots of Resistance: A History of Land Tenure in New Mexico (Paperback)
Written as a thesis, this book shows thorough research and hard work by the author. She discusses the subject from the Native American point of view which hadn't been done before. It is interesting, but only those with an intense interest in the subject should buy.
