Revolution in Texas: How a Forgotten Rebellion and Its Bloody Suppression Turned Mexicans into Americans. By Benjamin Heber Johnson. (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2003. 260 pp. $30.00, ISBN 0-300-09425-6.)

Benjamin Heber Johnson's Revolution in Texas addresses the Plan de San Diego, a revolutionary manifesto and plot promulgated in south Texas in 1915 in which men of Mexican descent sought to overthrow domination by European Americans. Johnson says that the study of the plan has been "peripheral to the mainstream of American history" and that only "a scattering of articles and a good book about the relationship between Mexican political exiles and the rebellion" exist (p. 4). But historians of Chicanos have long addressed the topic. The event is important to the U.S. and Mexican radical traditions and to the history of racial violence—between three hundred and five thousand members of La Raza were killed or executed during the episode.
