Phillip (Felipe) B. Gonzales Papers
Collection
Identifier: MSS-1099-BC
Scope and Contents
The Phillip (Felipe) B. Gonzales papers contain institutional documents, letters, and press publications. Its main area focus involves historical aspects of the Hispanic experience in New Mexico and the Southwest. Included are Spanish-language articles dating from the mid-late 19th century and early-mid 20th century, including popular political poetry, partisan political contention, and public discourse. Another series touches on controversial Nuevomexicano ethnic identity. Data on the contentions over New Mexico’s Spanish colonial legacy and commemorations of Juan de Oñate as the so-called “founder” of New Mexico are represented in press reports, recorded material on the Albuquerque Cuartocentenario panel, and private correspondence. The series on the Chicano Movement in New Mexico contains ethnographic interviews with community members, correspondence between Gonzales and fellow Chicano Movement participants, and student activism at the University of New Mexico dating from the United Mexican American Students in 1968 to El Centro de la Raza, as well as later campus political activity.
