The history of South Texas is more racially and ethnically complex than many people realize. As a border area, South Texas has experienced some especially interesting forms of racial and ethnic intersection, influenced by the relatively small number of blacks, the function and importance of the South Texas cattle trade, proximity to Mexico, and the history of anti-black violence. The essays in this volume give insight into this fascinating history.
