There comes a time when you must put things in writing before they are forgotten and lost forever. That even applies today in spite of the highly advanced society we live in. In this rural community on the river banks of the Rio Grande in the early 1900s when illiteracy predominated, the history and identity of its residents were preserved by story-telling. These “cuentos” often left much to the imagination but still were very entertaining, vivid and memorable (not to be confused with tall-tales). One of the very first stories that I remember hearing was that of a bigger-than-life character who happened to be my grandfather, Don Juan. We were all fascinated by how this man was able to win the admiration and respect of his neighbours at least enough to have stories told about him. Although they were all survivors, they were also all interdependent, and looked for an orientation that could make them believe in themselves. In spite of the many and varied challenges they confronted, many like Don Juan provided a perspective of right and wrong, of commitment to family, of surviving untold suffering, but also of purpose to continue. This story provides a sampling of how this rural community in “El Capote” ranch sought its own destiny from the bare essentials that the river lands could provide. Don Juan may not have been a legend, but he was a pilar of strength, faith and loyalty to a way of life many had no choice but to embrace.

"Del otro lado del auricular, una voz que apenas reconozco responde, cruzo los dedos para brindar por tu éxito con un buen tequila. No sé si es la voz, los dedos cruzados, la imagen de un brindis que está a punto de suceder, el olor del éxito o el sabor de un buen tequila lo que provoca que un suspiro transparente llene mis pulmones al tiempo que un gesto peculiar interroga a mi memoria. ¿De quién es la sazón de tierra mojada que parece invadir el viaje que estoy a punto de comenzar? ¿Quién va a conducirme por los caminos de asfalto y los senderos de grava y barro de una de las regiones más mexicanas de México? ¿Con quién voy a compartir los paisajes agaveros que esperan tranquilamente el retorno de los siglos?" Una vieja amiga y un amigo nuevo van buscando respuestas mientras van paseando por los pueblos, los cerros, las veredas, los ríos, el aire y la imaginación del paisaje azul que va llenando sus ojos de jimadores, artesanos, charros y mariachis. Tal vez incluso las palabras se queden paseando... Desde 1994, y con un estilo colorido y sensual, la prosa fresca de Alejandra nos lleva por sus inagotables retratos de mundos reales e imaginarios. Este nuevo viaje por el Estado mexicano de Jalisco, nos invita a vivir una historia salpicada de música y bañada con tequila. Agaves Que Cantan Rancheras es uno de esos libros cuyo final quisiéramos retardar para poder pasear un poco más.

A native Georgian, James Hughes Callahan (1812–1856) migrated to Texas to serve in the Texas Revolution in exchange for land. In Seguin, Texas, where he settled, he met and married a divorcée, Sarah Medissa Day (1822–1856). The lives of these two Texas pioneers and their extended family would become so entwined in the events and experiences of the nascent nation and state that their story represents a social history of nineteenth-century Texas. From his arrival as a sergeant with the Georgia Battalion, through the ill-fated 1855 expedition that bears his name, to his shooting death in a feud with a neighbor, Callahan was a soldier, a Texas Ranger, a rancher, and a land developer, at every turn making his mark on the evolving Guadalupe River Basin. Separately, Sarah’s family’s journey reflected the experience of many immigrants to Texas after its war of independence. Thomas O. McDonald traces the pair’s respective paths to their meeting, then follows as, together, they contend with conflict, troublesome social mores, the emergence of new industries, and the taming of the land, along the way helping to shape the Texas culture we know today. With a sharp eye for character and detail, and with a wealth of material at his command, author Thomas O. McDonald tells a story as crackling with life as it is steeped in scholarly research. In these pages the lives of the Callahan and Day families become a canvas on which the history of Texas—from revolution, frontier defense, and Indian wars to Anglo settlement and emerging legal and social systems—dramatically, inexorably unfolds.

Language has long functioned as a signifier of power in the United States. In Texas, as elsewhere in the Southwest, ethnic Mexicans’ relationship to education—including their enrollment in the Spanish-language community schools called escuelitas—served as a vehicle to negotiate that power. Situating the history of escuelitas within the contexts of modernization, progressivism, public education, the Mexican Revolution, and immigration, Reading, Writing, and Revolution traces how the proliferation and decline of these community schools helped shape Mexican American identity. Philis Barragán Goetz argues that the history of escuelitas is not only a story of resistance in the face of Anglo hegemony but also a complex and nuanced chronicle of ethnic Mexican cultural negotiation. She shows how escuelitas emerged and thrived to meet a diverse set of unfulfilled needs, then dwindled as later generations of Mexican Americans campaigned for educational integration. Drawing on extensive archival, genealogical, and oral history research, Barragán Goetz unravels a forgotten narrative at the crossroads of language and education as well as race and identity.
