The first manuscript, "Indigenous Narratives and the Politics of Identity in Education", explores the contours of Native American identity in light of recent transnational migrations by Indigenous peoples. The manuscript explores the urbanization of Indigenous populations and the educational implications. Dr Bernardo Gallegos employs a historical approach to understanding Indigenous Identity and schooling in the Southwest.
Professor Bernardo Gallegos' second manuscript, "An Indian, But a Peon: Criados, Genizaros, and Coyotes in New Mexico" -- also under contract with the University of New Mexico Press -- provides a historical overview of Genizaro Indians in New Mexico. Among the issues that the manuscript explores are the social and cultural implications of Native American servitude for contemporary society. Moreover, the manuscript will examine the historical contours of Native American education in Spanish households and communities in New Mexico and beyond. This project is expected to be completed in the winter of 2009.
The next project that Dr. Bernardo Gallegos plans to undertake is a hemispheric history of Native American Education. The manuscript will explore indigenous education within the context of Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English colonization throughout the Americas. This comparative study will be the first of its kind and will provide students of education with a way of understanding the different educational systems and practices, and the cultures they consequently spawned.
