Summary:

Edited by noted Tejano scholar Arnoldo De Leon, War along the Border is the result of an important conference hosted by the University of Houston's Center for Mexican American Studies, in conjunction with the centennial of the Mexican Revolution of 1910.

Scholars contributing to this volume consider topics ranging from the effects of the Mexican Revolution on Tejano and African American communities to its impact on Texas' economy and agriculture. Other essays consider the ways that Mexican Americans north of the border affected the course of the revolution itself. War along the Border suggests new ways of looking at a watershed moment in Mexican American history and reaffirms the transnational scope of Texas history. Book jacket.
