Lujn, Roy. "Dennis Chavez and the Roosevelt Era, 1933-1945," University of New Mexico, December 1987. Advisor: Gerald D. Nash (11, 2, 8)
This dissertation is a political biography of the late U.S. Senator Dennis Chavez of New Mexico who served in Congress from 1930 until his death in 1962. This study focuses on Chavez’s involvement in the New Deal and World War II and its aftermath. Relying heavily on primary sources including the Chavez manuscript collection, archival material, government documents and newspapers, this study proves that as Senator, Chavez personified the New Deal and its reforms. He realized that in order to restore economic prosperity, it was imperative to support New Deal legislation, and this concern continued throughout the war years. Although his concern was for all U.S. citizens, he was particularly aware of the economic, political and social crises his constituents confronted.
