Book Review

Mexican Americans in Texas History: Selected Essays. Edited by Emilio Zamora, Cynthia Orozco, and Rodolfo Rocha. (Austin: Texas State Historical Association, 2000. 226 pp. Appendix, notes, bibliographies. $15.95, paper.)

Mexican Americans in Texas History is the product of a 1991 Texas State Historical Association conference that explored the multifaceted experience of ethnic Mexicans in the Lone Star State. The book is divided into four parts, each with introductory essays. Part one and two take a chronological approach and examine the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, respectively, while part three deals with the theme of biography. The final section offers two bibliographies. 1

The section on the nineteenth century is composed of three essays that run the gamut of happenings in the period. Paul D. Lack's article, "Occupied Texas: Bexar and Goliad, 1835–1836," probes Tejano experience in the Texas revolution, which he argues represented a "revolutionary experience--not one filled by the romance of a selective historical memory but by hard, bitter, and destructive conflict" (p. 49). Part one also includes an essay on ethnic Mexican involvement in the Civil War, by Miguel González Quiroga, and Roberto Calderón's exploration of ethnic Mexican mutual aid societies in Laredo in the 1890s. . . .
