These papers contain the field notes created through ethnographic interviews with project participants in the Anglo and Mexican communities of Gallup, New Mexico and San Antonio, Texas. All of the material was generated while Charlotte and Ozzie Simmons were in the field in 1947-1948 under Harvard University professors Clyde Kluckhohn and Talcott Parsons, working on what would become Simmons' Harvard University doctoral dissertation, "Anglo Americans and Mexican Americans in South Texas : a study in dominant-subordinate group relations."
