Book excerpt: Many people have used photographs or impressionistic essays in their attempts to capture the essence of New Mexico. Toby Smith employed neither camera nor conjecture in his search. Instead he listened to the people and re-created from their conversations sensitive and entertaining profiles. As Smith listened, he heard New Mexico at it's best: the memories and dreams of people whose lives speak to us all about hope, love, success, and failure. Smith visited old timers and newcomers, men, women, and children, Indians, Hispanics, Anglos, and blacks. He talked to those who live in cities and with the entire village of Pep (population 2). He journeyed to the southern part of the state, and to the north, east, and west. He went to one place that a photograph made famous and to another that no longer exists except in the recollections of its former residents. Wherever he went, though, strangers became friends, and their stories enrich and captivate. Among the thirty-five New Mexicans we meet are a millionaire artist, an onion picker, a witness to murder, a Good Samaritan pilot, a cowboy preacher, and an expert fisherman. Smith has fashioned the stories her heard into engaging portraits of the vigorous, resilient people who live and work in the land of enchantment.

There in San Mateo and in the nearby town of Grants, he introduces us to relatives and friends from his youth on his family's sheep ranch. His stories of their lives and experiences between the 1920s and the 1950s speak to such universal themes as coming of age, striking out on one's own, and joining family and neighbors to celebrate good times and to aid them in overcoming hardships."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Utopian Movements and Ideas of the Great Depression written by Donald W. Whisenhunt and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1930s, the United States was beset with an economic crisis so serious that it threatened the future of the nation. On the national level, Franklin Roosevelt initiated and developed a variety of reforms and experiments as part of the New Deal. Some Americans looking for change believed Roosevelt was going in the wrong direction, while others believed he was too timid in his reforms. Still others thought he had not broken free of the restraints placed on him by the financial interests of the country. Many Americans had their own ideas about how to address the financial crisis and took matters into their own hands. In Utopian Movements and Ideas of the Great Depression, Donald W. Whisenhunt explores several lesser-known movements for change and reform in the Great Depression Era including communal societies, proposals for reform, and analyses of several books that propose solutions to the nation's economic ills. Arguably, America has been a Utopian experiment from its beginning; the movements and ideas of the 1930s were simply the latest manifestations of that experiment. Though not well known, the people and events studied represent the thinking of some of the most articulate and driven Americans during the economic crisis. Despite their lack of obvious success, they represent an important American idea—that an average person can devise solutions to society's problems. These movements and ideas embody the American belief in progress and the power of the individual.
