SUMMARY:La Canoa: The Nuclear Option: Perpetuating the Myth of New Mexico as Wasteland
DESCRIPTION:2 pm \nPlease join UNM Assistant Professor Myrriah Gómez for a presentation on New Mexico and the nuclear option. Long before the nuclear industrial complex began in here in 1942\, New Mexico was depicted by outsiders as a “wasteland.” In an effort to combat that historical portrayal\, the New Mexico Bureau of Immigration issued Aztlán: The History\, Resources and Attractions of New Mexico in 1885\, a book that was used to recruit Anglos to New Mexico in an effort to shift the racial and ethnic demographics so as to earn statehood. Building on Anglo rhetoric from the 19th century\, the federal government continues to use the same arguments to convert New Mexico into the premier repository for the nation’s nuclear waste. This talk will discuss the rearticulationof New Mexico as a nuclear wasteland in the 20th and 21st centuries. \nMyrriah Gómez is a Nuevo Mexicana from the Pojoaque Valley. She is an Assistant Professor in the Honors College at the University of New Mexico. Myrriah’s current book project\, NuclearNuevo México: Identity\, Ethnicity\, and Resistance in Atomic Third Spaces\, examines the effects of the nuclear industry on people of color in New Mexico.

SUMMARY:Braceros Exhibit Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:6 pm \nThis exhibition features more than 30 black and white photographs of braceros taken by the photojournalist collective known as the Hermanos Mayo. It also uses narratives\, video and artifacts to tell the story of the Bracero Program. The program grew out of a series of bi-lateral agreements between Mexico and the United States\, bringing Mexican men to the United States as guest-workers on short-term\, primarily agricultural labor contracts. In 1942\, these workers came to remedy wartime production shortages by supplying much-needed labor during the early years of World War II.  The Bracero Program\, which derived its name from the Spanish word for a manual laborer\, “bracero” continued uninterrupted until 1964. During this extensive program\, 4.6 million contracts were signed\, with many individuals returning several times on different contracts\, making it the largest United States contract labor program. An examination of the exhibition images\, documents\, and artifacts contributes to our understanding of the lives of migrant workers in Mexico and the United States\, as well as our knowledge of immigration\, nationalism\, labor practices\, and race relations.\nThis event is free and open to the public
