In this chapter, Martha Menchaca examines the northward migration of Indians, mestizos, and afromestizos into the Southwest, drawn by promises of a relaxed racial order where people of color would be given some of the economic opportunities only enjoyed by whites in the interior of Mexico. She also explores the conquest of many indigenous groups of the Southwest and their conversion to Christianity.
