They Called Them Greasers: Anglo Attitudes toward Mexicans in Texas, 1821–1900 by Arnoldo De León
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.56 MB
Overview: Tension between Anglos and Tejanos has existed in the Lone Star State since the earliest settlements. Such antagonism has produced friction between the two peoples, and whites have expressed their hostility toward Mexican Americans unabashedly and at times violently. This seminal work in the historical literature of race relations in Texas examines the attitudes of whites toward Mexicans in nineteenth-century Texas. For some, it will be disturbing reading. But its unpleasant revelations are based on extensive and thoughtful research into Texas’s past. The result is important reading not merely for historians but for all who are concerned with the history of ethnic relations in our state.
