- Synopsis
-
The author sets out to answer questions "that 'grew up' with me, questions about the Texas world I came to know as a fourth-generation native. The most prominent feature of this world was the sharp division between Anglo and Mexican in schools, neighborhoods, and social life generally. What were the origins of such segregation? And why, during the past twenty years, was this segregated order apparently breaking down?" -- from the Acknowledgements.
The author explains in the introduction that "two major concerns guided this work. One was to reconstruct a history of Mexican-Anglo relations in Texas 'since the Alamo.'" The "second major concern, then, was to ask this history some sociological questions about ethnicity, social change, and society itself."
