-Texas Monthly Between 1910 and 1920, self-appointed protectors of
the Texas-Mexico border-including members of the famed Texas
Rangers-murdered hundreds of ethnic Mexicans living in Texas, many
of whom were American citizens. Operating in remote rural areas,
officers and vigilantes knew they could hang, shoot, burn, and beat
victims to death without scrutiny. A culture of impunity prevailed.
The abuses were so pervasive that in 1919 the Texas legislature
investigated the charges and uncovered a clear pattern of state
crime. Records of the proceedings were soon filed away as the
Ranger myth flourished. A groundbreaking work of historical
reconstruction, The Injustice Never Leaves You has upended Texas's
sense of its own history. A timely reminder of the dark side of
American justice, it is a riveting story of race, power, and
prejudice on the border. "It's an apt moment for this book's hard
lessons...to go mainstream." -Texas Observer "A reminder that
government brutality on the border is nothing new." -Los Angeles
Review of Books
A moving account of a little-known period of state-sponsored racial
terror inflicted on ethnic Mexicans in the Texas-Mexico
borderlands. Between 1910 and 1920, vigilantes and law
enforcement-including the renowned Texas Rangers-killed Mexican
residents with impunity. The full extent of the violence was known
only to the relatives of the victims. Monica Munoz Martinez turns
to the keepers of this history to tell this riveting and disturbing
untold story. Operating in remote rural areas enabled the
perpetrators to do their worst: hanging, shooting, burning, and
beating victims to death without scrutiny. Families scoured the
brush to retrieve the bodies of loved ones. Survivors suffered
segregation and fierce intimidation, and yet fought back. They
confronted assailants in court, worked with Mexican diplomats to
investigate the crimes, pressured local police to arrest the
perpetrators, spoke to journalists, and petitioned politicians for
change. Martinez reconstructs this history from institutional and
private archives and oral histories, to show how the horror of
anti-Mexican violence lingered within communities for generations,
compounding injustice by inflicting further pain and loss. Yet its
memorialization provided victims with an important means of
redress, undermining official narratives that sought to whitewash
these atrocities. The Injustice Never Leaves You offers an
invaluable account of why these incidents happened, what they meant
at the time, and how a determined community ensured that the
victims were not forgotten.
In this compilation, the authors begin with a review of the
mechanisms of synthesis and secretion, cellular effects and the
involvement of serotonin (5-HT) in physiological and behavioral
functions horses. In addition, the pathological conditions in which
5-HT is involved at the level of equine clinics are studied.
Following this, the capabilities and limitations of PET imaging
research on non-human primates are discussed for translation to
brain DA research on humans, as well as therapeutic drug
development for neurodegenerative diseases. This book also examines
the etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The authors present
available data contributing to the appreciation of a serotonergic
dysfunction in ASD, as well as discuss new avenues to reveal the
pathophysiology of this multifactorial disorder. Next, they review
the historical and current evidence that links neurotransmitters
with hemopoeitic stem cell mobilization, trafficking, and specially
emphasize the role of serotonin in erythropoiesis. Potential
actionable myelodysplastic and leukemic pathways are described and
investigated.
Una historia que incorpora un poco de fantasia con el amor de un
pasado que revive en el presente. Los dos personajes principales
viven sus vidas entrelazados entre recuerdos del pasado.
