For the past five decades the Texas Observer has been an essential
voice in Texas culture and politics, championing honest government,
civil rights, labor, and the environment, while providing a
platform for many of the state's most passionate and progressive
voices. Included are ninety-one selections from Roy Bedichek, Lou
Dubose, Ronnie Dugger, Dagoberto Gilb, Jim Hightower, Molly Ivins,
Larry McMurtry, Maury Maverick Jr., Willie Morris, Debbie Nathan,
and others. To mark the Observer's fiftieth anniversary, Char
Miller has selected a cross section of the best work to appear in
its pages. Not only does the collection pay homage to an important
alternative voice in Texas journalism, it also serves as a
progressive chronicle of a half-century of life in the Lone Star
State--a state that has spawned three presidents in the last forty
years. If Texas is, as some say, a crucible for national politics,
then Fifty Years of the Texas Observer can be read as a casebook
for issues that concern citizens in all fifty states. Molly Ivins's
foreword gives historical background for the Observer and sets the
stage for the book.
