Phillip B. "Felipe" Gonzales is a professor of sociology emeritus at the University of New Mexico. He has authored and edited several books, including Política: Nuevomexicanos and American Political Incorporation, 1821-1910.

This book shifts our understanding of the vibrant world of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century nuevomexicano letters through recovering the literary contributions of Manuel Sariñana, a Mexican immigrant whose writing provides a unique perspective on the shifting political and cultural concerns of a territory in transition." - Anita Huizar-Hernández, author of Forging Arizona: A History of the Peralta Land Grant and Racial Identity in the West "This work recovers an important literary and social-political novella from 1908 that merits wider dissemination and analysis. It effectively unearths a critical portrait of New Mexican politics, its central ideas, the key historical characters, and the shifting allegiances found in such an environment. The pícaro protagonist here holds the key to unravelling the narration as well as the politics of its era." - Francisco A. Lomelí, coeditor of Aztlán: Essays on the Chicano Homeland
