Over the next few months, NMSU will be hosting a lecture series entitled “Arriving in America: The Challenge of Immigrants and Minorities in Modern American History.” Of particular interest will be Anthony Mora’s lecture on January 31, 2012, “‘Americans Immigrate Constantly:’ Historic Ironies and Reversals that Made the Modern U.S.-Mexican Border.” Mora is the author of Border Dilemmas: Racial and National Uncertainties in New Mexico, 1848-1912. Also look out for David Gutierrez’s lecture on March 12 entitled, “The Suppression of Immigrants’ Rights and the Impending Crisis of Citizenship.” See here for details about time and venue as well as the full list of presenters which also includes, for example, whiteness studies scholar Matthew Jacobson.
