Texans of Mexican descent built a unique and highly developed
ranching culture that thrived in South Texas until the 1880s. In
""Tejano Empire"", historian Andres Tijerina describes the major
elements that gave the Tejano ranch community its identity: shared
reaction to Anglo-American in-migration, tightly interconnected
families, cultural loyalty, networks of communication, Catholic
religion, and a material culture well adapted to the conditions of
the region. After the introduction's historical overview of the
region, the chapters address specific elements of the lives people
led in the Rio Grande Valley and South Texas: work ways and tools,
housing and ranch layouts, family networks and authority patterns,
education and the arts, religion and daily prayer.A gallery of
energetic line drawings by the late Ricardo M. Beasley and graceful
pen-and-ink detail drawings by Servando G. Hinojosa of Alice,
Texas, commissioned especially for this book, intricately portray
scenes from South Texas daily life.
