Introducing a new model for the trans-national history of the United States, this book places Mexican Americans at the centre of the Texas creation story. It focuses on Mexican-Texan, or Tejano, society in a period of political transition beginning with the year of Mexican independence. The book explores the factors that helped shape the ethnic identity of the Tejano population, including cross-cultural contacts between Bexarenos, indigenous groups, and Anglo-Americans, as they negotiated the contingencies and pressures on the frontier of competing empires.
