Description: Nuclear Nuevo Mxico by Myrriah Gómez Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Contrary to previous works that suppress Nuevomexicana/o presence throughout US nuclear history, this book focuses on recovering the voices and stories that have been lost or ignored in the telling of this history. Publisher Description In the 1940s military and scientific personnel chose the Pajarito Plateau to site Project Y of the secret Manhattan Project, where scientists developed the atomic bomb. Nuevomexicanas/os and Tewa people were forcibly dispossessed from their ranches and sacred land in north-central New Mexico with inequitable or no compensation. Contrary to previous works that suppress Nuevomexicana/o presence throughout U.S. nuclear history, Nuclear Nuevo MÉxico focuses on recovering the voices and stories that have been lost or ignored in the telling of this history. By recuperating these narratives, Myrriah GÓmez tells a new story of New Mexico, one in which the nuclear history is not separate from the collective colonial history of Nuevo MÉxico but instead demonstrates how earlier eras of settler colonialism laid the foundation for nuclear colonialism in New Mexico. GÓmez examines the experiences of Nuevomexicanas/os who have been impacted by the nuclear industrial complex, both the weapons industry and the commercial industry. GÓmez argues that Los Alamos was created as a racist project that targeted poor and working-class Nuevomexicana/o farming families, along with their Pueblo neighbors, to create a nuclear empire. The resulting imperialism has left a legacy of disease and distress throughout New Mexico that continues today. Author Biography Myrriah Gómez is a Nuevomexicana from the Pojoaque Valley. She is an assistant professor in the Honors College at the University of New Mexico.
