Forging Arizona
A History of the Peralta Land Grant and Racial Identity in the West
Rutgers University Press
In Forging Arizona Anita Huizar-Hernández looks back at a bizarre nineteenth-century land grant scheme that tests the limits of how ideas about race, citizenship, and national expansion are forged. An important addition to extant scholarship on the U.S. Southwest, this book recovers a forgotten case that reminds readers that the borders that divide are only as stable as the narratives that define them.

Divided into five sections, authors explore what it means to cultivate spaces of belonging, navigate language policies, and excavate silences in various spaces, among other important themes, with a particular emphasis on Arizona in each section.
