KCDTS is a multi-volume, multi-genre work that consists of eleven to fifteen texts1; these texts function both as independent, individual entities and as serial installments of one continuous novel-inprogress with overlapping characters, storylines, and settings. The Klail City referred to in the title of the series is a fictitious small rural town in the Lower Rio Grande Valley region of Texas on the U.S.-Mexico border. The series depicts the lives of Texas Mexican Americans in the Valley from as early as 1749,2 in a city controlled by the white Klail-BlanchardCooke family, who have controlled the county politically and economically since the turn of the century. Rafe Buenrostro, the main protagonist of the series, fights as a U.S. soldier in the Korean War and a trilogy of books—Korean Love Songs (1978), Rites and Witnesses (1982), and The Useless Servants (1993)—depicts his war experience. Up until the last decade, scholars who had analyzed Hinojosa’s KCDTS tended to cover the Korean War installments briefly or skip them altogether. The only major earlier study concerning the significance of the Korean War in Hinojosa’s fiction was Ramón Saldívar’s essay “Rolando Hinojosa’s Korean Love Songs and the Klail City Death Trip: A Border Ballad and Its Heroes” in his brilliant 1990 book Chicano Narrative: The Dialectics of Difference. In it he argues that the mid-century Mexican American protagonist of Korean Love Songs is the analogue of the early20th-century border ballad, concerned still with border conflict and social justice struggles while also reflecting vast historical and geopolitical","PeriodicalId":43344,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE SOUTHWEST","volume":"65 1","pages":"1 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42566578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some are historically related, but others are not. Despite their differences in terms of environment, geography, climate, regional and national setting, language, and culture, these systems all seem to operate in strikingly similar ways. This alignment has led one anthropologist to propose that their common operating principles are the result of a rare process of convergent evolution, whereby the same form emerges independently in different places and times, because it is highly adaptive (Trawick, Reig, and Salvador 2014). Such systems—which are found, for example, in the Andes, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, China, India, Nepal, the Philippines, Africa, and Bali—have proven to be sustainable and resilient within their respective ecological settings, whether arid or humid. Nevertheless, many have disappeared under the onslaught of modernization, while those that still exist struggle to survive in the face of myriad adverse political, economic, social, demographic, environmental, and climatic forces. This chapter examines the dynamic interface between acequia governance and the broader hydrosocial regime and territory in which it is embedded.

However, judging from modern sources, this knowledge has been fading over time. For example, the ~6,700-entry Mojave dictionary (Munro et al. 1992; also spelled “Mohave”) lists 105 unique bird names, and past speakers likely knew specific species referents for many of these, yet 53 are glossed as a “type of” something while many others are given generic definitions that preclude identifying an exact species referent (e.g., ‘big bird’, ‘chickenhawk’, ‘eagle’). Studying such knowledge today is complicated by at least three factors: (1) changes to traditional ecological knowledge that have accompanied man-made changes to the lower Colorado River ecosystem, which has caused many species to decline while allowing other formerly-rare or new species to expand their use of the lower Colorado (Rosenberg et al. 1991: 14–28); (2) historical migrations away from the lower Colorado River and toward the Gila and Salt Rivers in central Arizona by the Piipaash (also spelled “Pee Posh”, a.k.a. “Maricopa”; see Rea 1983, 2007 for changes to the Gila River ecosystem); and (3) the general decline in the intergenerational transmission of linguistic and cultural knowledge that Yuman communities have experienced. However, we can turn to the information that past speakers of these languages shared with early linguists and anthropologists about these birds, especially through their oral traditions, to identify exact referents for many such names, and thus reconstruct a small part of the rich ecological knowledge that they possessed.","PeriodicalId":43344,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF THE SOUTHWEST","volume":"64 1","pages":"538 - 571"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47087997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
