This pioneering study sheds new light on racial dynamics in the
urban Southwest at a critical juncture in the history of the region
and the nation. It focuses upon the experiences of ethnoracial
minorities, particularly African Americans and Mexican immigrants
in Austin, Texas from the dawn of the Progressive Era to the onset
of the Great Depression. Through this lens, McDonald explores the
issues of migration, proletarianization, marginalization,
adaptation, identity, and community. He reveals how, in response to
the exponential growth of the local ethnic-Mexican population, the
white elite of the Lone Star State's capital adapted the city's
bipartite system of segregation, which had traditionally separated
blacks from whites, to incorporate Mexicans as a third and separate
element, neither black nor white. As well as examining how African
Americans and Mexican Americans responded to life in a
racially-stratified society, McDonald examines the often fraught
relationship between these groups.
