Originally published in 1991, this pioneering work in Texas
historiography, edited by Walter H. Buenger and the late Robert A.
Calvert, placed the intellectual development of Texas History
within the framework of current trends in the study of U.S.
history. In Texas through Time, twelveeminent scholars contribute
evaluations of the historical literature in their respective fields
of expertise - from Texas-Mexican culture and African-American
roles to agrarianism, progressivism, and the New Deal; from
perspectives on women to the urban experience of the Sunbelt boom
and near-bust. The cumulative effort describes and analyzes what
Texas history is and how it got that way. " Avowedly revisionist .
. . a hard-hitting analysis of Texas historiography.' --East Texas
Historical Association " An absolute must for research library
collections and scholars of Texas history.'--Books of the Southwest
" Should be well thumbed by any historian concerned with Texas
topics."--Southern Historian " A long-needed assessment of more
than a century's worth of books, articles, masters theses, and
doctoral dissertations on Texas history. . . . a well-conceived
project that will prove to be a godsend for graduate students and
their mentors, Texana' collectors, and journalists."--Journal of
the West
For more than one hundred years some of the finest articles on the
history of Texas have appeared in the ""Southwestern Historical
Quarterly"" published by the Texas State Historical Association.
The editors of the newest edition of this classic Texas history
anthology have brought together eighteen essays (fifteen of which
were published in the past two decades) that illustrate the rich
diversity of Texas history, especially in the areas of gender and
ethnic studies, and include the writings of some of today's most
respected Texas historians. Like the previous editions, this book
is designed for both the student and the general reader seeking an
authoritative overview of Texas history.
