Book Review

Catarino Garza's Revolution on the Texas-Mexico Border. By Elliott Young. (Durham: Duke University Press, 2004. xv + 407 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. $84.95, cloth; $23.95 paper.)

In this significant study of the South Texas/Northern Mexico border region in the later years of the nineteenth century, Elliott Young shows that the volatility that made this area an important staging ground for the Mexican Revolution in 1910–1920 was already in place. Young has carefully used sources from both Mexico and the United States in his exploration of the cross-border, multi-class movement led by liberal firebrand Catarino Garza against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. In so doing, he has illuminated how the South Texas area between the Nueces and Rio Grande Rivers changed from being dominated economically and culturally by its Mexican population and heritage to a far more complex region both influenced and politically and socially pulled upon by the two neighboring countries.
