GUEST SPEAKER November 12, 2009
"Reinterpreting the
US-Mexican War"
Professor Brian DeLay reframes the story of the U.S.- Mexican War by putting Indians at its center. In this talk, he argues that one cannot fully understand the political implications of the US-Mexican war without addressing the conflict between the Mexican government and Indians in its northern territories --the "War of the Thousand Deserts".
