Catarino Garza's Revolution on the Texas-mexico Border

"This is an original, provocative, and far-reaching book that breaks with the existing conceptualization of fields of study and national historiographical traditions. It not only makes a case for the importance of the Garza revolt itself but also uses the rebellion to reflect upon broad themes, including those of U.S.-Mexican relations; comparative colonialisms; the formation of borders; Latin American liberalism; and race, gender, and class. "--William French, author of "A Peaceful and Working People: Manners, Morals, and Class Formation in Northern Mexico"
