“A wonderfully researched history of the Indigenous people of Taos and their long struggle for autonomyBeating Heart of the World is a story of tenacity, community organizing, and ultimately justice. Above all, it is the tale of the power of resistance. What an inspiration for our times! Much gratitude to Steve Davis for this effort.” - Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street and Woman Without Shame: Poems

“These people worked together, over time, to reverse injustice and succeeded. That is such an important tale to tell . . . at any time but perhaps especially in our current climate of discord, division, and distrust.” - Sherry L. Smith, author of Bohemians West: Free Love, Family, and Radicals in Twentieth Century America
