He is currently completing his first book, Rio Grande Crossings,which combines his research interests in the histories of Chicana/os, the American West, and borderlands. The book explores state formation and cultural change along the Mexico-United States border during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It traces changes in ethnicity, citizenship, and gender relations among residents as jurisdiction over the area passed from native peoples to Spain, Mexico, and finally the United States. His research is based on Spanish- and English-language archives in each of these countries. Sponsored by Center for Diversity & Enrichment |

The Main Library is hosting an exhibit for the 2007 Hispanic Heritage Month. It is located across from the Information Desk, near the elevator. The display features selected items from the Iowa Women's Archives' "Mujeres Latinas" project and highlights University of Iowa Hispanic and Latina/o students, faculty and alumni, as well as resources available in the Main Library about the Hispanic and Latina/o experience. It was hard work, but worth it. I hope that all of you enjoy it.
