5 Montejano 40th Anniv Anglos and Mexicans in the Making of Texas

The seminal book Anglos and Mexicans in the Making of Texas, 1836-1986 by David Montejano is celebrating 40 years in print by the University of Texas Press, and it remains one of the most insightful analyses of Texas history to date. Hailed as “the most important race-class analysis of the Chicano experience,” a generation of scholars continue to cite Montejano’s work as an influence on their careers and a model for revisionist historical sociology. The two-day symposium Anglos and Mexicans: Still Making Texas is organized by graduate students in the Department of Mexican American and Latina/o Studies (MALS) under the guidance of Associate Professor C. J. Alvarez, providing an opportunity for inter-generational dialogue that reflects on the book’s legacy and future contributions to Latino Studies and Texas history. "Long before the explosion of scholarly interest in the borderlands in the 2000s, Montejano asked penetrating questions about how Mexican-descent people make Texas society during the 150 years after the Texas Revolution. Decades after its publication, Anglos and Mexicans in the Making of Texas, 1836-1986 remains a landmark for the study of Mexican Americans, Texas and North America." - Benjamin H. Johnson, Professor in History at Loyola University of Chicago. Join Latino Studies and MALS at UT Austin for two full days of panel presentations and keynotes, including a keynote plenary by author David Montejano on February 20, along with Texas historians Emilio Zamora and Neil Foley, and moderated by MALS Department Chair Karma Chavez. The symposium will include panel discussions with prominent scholars from across Texas and the United States, as well as a Saturday plenary on the future of Texas history and a graduate student-focused panel of emerging scholarship.
