El Rancho in History & Culture "El Rancho in History, Culture and Nostalgia" The year 2021 marked the 500th anniversary of the introduction of Spanish cattle into New Spain (Mexico and the Southwestern and Western U.S.). Old World cattle, along with the horse, another Spanish introduction, were instrumental in the colonizing and economic development of the New World--nowhere more so than in the northern Mexico and the American Southwest. For centuries the rancho has endured as dwelling and commercial enterprise, but it is also a symbol and idea that anchors Borderlands Mexican cultural identity. This course explores the history and culture of ranching in northern Mexico and the American Southwest, while investigating how things ranchero continue to inform Mexican and Mexican American identity and culture, from: the banalities of ranch work; the politics of land tenure; representations in music; the moving image; architecture; and folk, popular, and material culture. Course materials and assignments draw on classic and new scholarship on the rancho; online historical archives like The Bexar Archives and The Texas General Land Office Archives; folklore; and online material culture collections; and popular culture.
