Sheridan University of Arizona Press, 1995 One of the best books on Arizona history I've read several books on Arizona history and in many ways this is one of the best. I think that there are several things that set this book apart. First, it is very thorough. Each of its 400 plus pages is filled with fact and information. Additionally, it covers some topics in more depth than similar books. For example, this book contains a lot of information about early Hispanic ...             Los Tucsonenses: The Mexican Community in Tucson, 1854-1941 Thomas E. Sheridan University of Arizona Press, 1992 Originally a presidio on the frontier of New Spain, Tucson was a Mexican community before the arrival of Anglo settlers. Unlike most cities in California and Texas, Tucson was not initially overwhelmed by Anglo immigrants, so that even until the early 1900s Mexicans made up a majority of the town's population. Indeed, it was through the efforts of Mexican businessmen and politicians that Tucson became a commercial center of the Southwest. ...             Paths of Life: American Indians of the Southwest and Northern Mexico2 reviews Thomas E. Sheridan, Nancy J. Parezo University of Arizona Press, 1996 Great commentaries! I have this book for one of my college classes, and it is really interesting to have a book that is not just a dry ethnography. I think it holds true to how it describes itself in the introduction: "We want to investigate one central and fundamental theme--the persistence of ethnic identity in the face of constant change...about groups of people who have maintained a strong sense of their own ...             Los Tucsonenses: The Mexican Community in Tucson, 1854-1941 Thomas E. Sheridan University of Arizona, 1991 This book fulfills a promise to the Mexican American people of Tucson whose history, culture and contributions were in danger of being lost. Hispanic culture of Tucson stretches back centuries and the Old Pueblo as Tucson is sometimes called is the ancestral home of the Mexican American community. This book, which came about as an outgrowth of the Mexican Heritage Project, documents the presence of the Mexican American people of Tucson and ...             Empire of Sand: The Seri Indians and the Struggle for Spanish Sonora, 1645-1803 Thomas E. Sheridan University of Arizona Press, 1999 From the earliest days of their empire in the New World, the Spanish sought to gain control of the native peoples and lands of what is now Sonora. While missionaries were successful in pacifying many Indians, the Seris--independent groups of hunter-gatherers who lived on the desert shores and islands of the Gulf of California--steadfastly defied Spanish efforts to subjugate them. Empire of Sand is a documentary history of Spanish attempts ...             LA Vida Nortena: Photographs of Sonora, Mexico4 reviews Gary Paul Nabhan, Thomas E. Sheridan University of New Mexico Press, 1998 Wow. This book is incredible -- an honest and sensitive portrait of life in the changing Sonoran desert.

Sheridan tells of falling in love with a place in a way that speaks intimately to my own experience of and ...             Where the Dove Calls: The Political Ecology of a Peasant Corporate Community in Northwestern Mexico (Arizona ... Thomas E. Sheridan University of Arizona Press, 1996 Thomas Sheridan's study of the municipio of Cucurpe, Sonora, offers new insight into the ability of peasants to respond to ecological and political change. In order to survive as small rancher-farmers, the Cucurpeños battle aridity and one another in a society characterized by sharp economic inequality and long-standing conflict over the distribution of land and water. Sheridan has written an ethnography of resource control, one that weds ...             Landscapes of Fraud: Mission Tumacácori, the Baca Float, and the Betrayal of the O?odham (La Frontera: People ... Thomas E. Sheridan University of Arizona Press, 2008 From the actions of Europeans in the seventeenth century to the real estate deals of the modern era, people making a living off the land in southern Arizona have been repeatedly robbed of their way of life. History has recorded more than three centuries of speculative failures that never amounted to much but left dispossessed people in their wake. This book seeks to excavate those failures, to examine the new social spaces the schemers ...             A History of the Southwest: The Land and Its People Thomas E.

Guy, Thomas E. Sheridan University of Arizona Press, 1998 Major contribution to Latin American & frontier studies. This book should become a major contribution to Latin American studies, because it provides fresh perspectives on topics we'd thought we already knew well. It does so by relating Latin America to vital issues in history, notably recent research on frontier history, "the new Western history," & themes of race, class & gender. The chapter by Susan Socolow, discussing Argentine frontier women & ...             The Public Historian: A Journal of Public History - Volume 18 Number 1, Winter 1996 Dan Murphy, Bruce W.
