Book Review

Of Borders and Margins: Hispanic Disciples in Texas, 1888–1945. By Daisy L. Machado. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2003. xiv, 151 pp. $39.95, ISBN 0-19-515223-9.)

Daisy L. Machado writes from the perspective of an ordained Hispanic Disciples of Christ clergywoman serving in a denomination whose missionary strategies historically have been shaped by dominant Anglo cultural values. Accordingly, her narrative is an analysis of history from what she terms a "margins" perspective, rather than one that reflects the viewpoint of the denominational bureaucracy (p. xviii). She focuses on the impact of Anglo colonization of the Texas borderlands, an area heavily influenced by a pattern of culture previously formed by the Spanish. Concurrently, Machado emphasizes the importance of understanding the broader historical and cultural contexts in which the Disciples of Christ denomination undertook its ministry to the indigenous peoples it encountered during the process of settlement in Texas.
