Legacies of Dust
This work by Douglas Sheflin (instructor, Colorado State University) comprises three parts: the development of settler agriculture, running into the establishment of agricultural extension in Baca and Prowers Counties; the transformative Dust Bowl experience; and downstream from that, the legacies of dust, with particular attention to the so-called Filthy Fifties.

Agency, complexity, memory
Agency, complexity, and memory are core values for the scholarship, especially the historical scholarship, of western places in the 21st Century. The doctrine of agency derives from action theory in philosophy and individualism in sociology. Chaos theory and its companion, complexity, defy determinisms and lead scholars toward narrative explanations capable of dealing with organized complexity. Collective memory situates scholars in a western lan…

In the twentieth century it came to be regarded as an invasive, exotic species that threatened indigenous plants and landscapes. Throughout its history in Ne…
