Mexican Americans in Texas history

About this book

"The contributions and influences of Mexican Americans in Texas history have been many and significant. Only in recent decades, however, have historians adequately told this story. The enormous strides made in the study of Mexican-origin people in Texas are reflected in this new book of essays.". "In May 1991 the Texas State Historical Association co-sponsored a conference, "Mexican Americans in Texas History" which brought together some six hundred participants, including nearly one hundred leading scholars in the field of Mexican American Studies.". "This volume, which contains eleven essays from the pivotal conference, corrects and amplifies the historical record. Mexican Americans in Texas History will be of great interest to students, scholars, teachers, and general readers, and it is well adapted to classroom use."--BOOK JACKET.
