"A synthesis of published accounts on the history of Mexican Americans in the Edwards Plateau and the Trans-Pecos region of Texas"--

The new fifth edition of The History of Texas is fully revised and updated to reflect the latest scholarship in its coverage of the entire sweep of Texas history from the pre-Columbian era to the present.

Once neglected, racial minorities are now the focus of intense interest among historians of the American West, who have come to recognise the roles of African American, Chinese, and Mexican people in shaping the frontier. Racial Frontiers is both a highly original work, particularly in its emphasis on racial minority women, and a masterful synthesis of the literature in this young field.

This seminal work in the historical literature of race relations in Texas examines the attitudes of whites toward Mexicans in nineteenth-century Texas.
