Native Americans, working-class Mexicans, elite Hispanos, and black and white newcomers all commingled and interacted in the territory in ways that had not been previously possible. But what did it mean to be white in this multiethnic milieu? And how did ideas of sexuality and racial supremacy shape ideas of citizenry and determine who would govern the region?<\/p>\n<p><em>Coyote Nation<\/em> considers these questions as it explores how New Mexicans evaluated and categorized racial identities through bodily practices. Where ethnic groups were numerous and\u2014in the wake of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixedracestudies.org\/?p=450\" target=\"_blank\">miscegenation<\/a>\u2014often difficult to discern, the ways one dressed, bathed, spoke, gestured, or even stood were largely instrumental in conveying one&#8217;s race.
