About the Book

This book surveys the people, events, and conditions that shaped Mexican American identity in the Southwestern United States after 1913. The Quest for Tejano Identity was written as a study of Mexican American consciousness, and a history of the assumptions and intellectual responses of Mexican Americans in south Texas. The work uses history to inquire why different ethnic groups think, act and speak as they do as they encounter American society.
