New Mexico: America's Tibet (Video Version)

from Politics and the Past: Desert Dialogues · host Center for American Institutions

New Mexico is (to Andrew Ritter, at least), America's Tibet. Both New Mexico and Tibet are politically and economically behind the remainder of their region. Both are home to majority-minority populations. And both are mountainous regions.On this episode, Andrew Ritter and Dr. Rob Ferguson discuss how New Mexico seems impervious to the immense political change that has swept across the country. In doing so, they make a case for why New Mexico is America's Tibet.
