These essays trace the arc of the author's career over a quarter of a century. A new bibliographic essay on early San Antonio and Texas history rounds out the collection, showing where Tejano history has been, is now, and where it might go in the future. For de la Teja, the Tejano experience in San Antonio is a case study of a community in transition, one moved by forces within and without. From its beginnings as an imperial outpost to becoming the center of another, newer empire-- itself in transition--the social, political, and military history of San Antonio was central to Texas history, to say nothing of the larger contexts of Mexican and American history. Faces of Bexar explores this and more, including San Antonio's origins as a military settlement, the community's economic ties to Saltillo, its role in the fight for Mexican independence, and the motivations of Tejanos for joining Anglo Texans in the struggle for independence. Taken together, Faces of Bexar stands to be a milestone in the growing literature on Tejano history. 546 English. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 To 1846|2fast 650 0 Spanish Americans|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85126234|zTexas|zSan Antonio|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79054641-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Mexican Americans|zTexas|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh92003973|zSan Antonio|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79054641-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Spanish Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1128227 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Mexican Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1019072 651 7 Texas|zSan Antonio.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1205169 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Teja, Jesâus F. de la,|eAuthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|z162349401X 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2222195|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
