PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Astrid Haas is a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the Institute of Black Atlantic Research, University of Central Lancashire, United Kingdom. She is author of Stages of Agency: The Contributions of the American Drama to the AIDS Discourse.
As Texas became a destination for large-scale immigration in the wake of Mexico's independence from Spain, many learned of the region through published travelogues, emigrant guides, and scientific reports. Lone Star Vistas is the first comparative study of transnational travel writing on Texas, analyzing 40 years of work from the three major settler populations: Anglo-American, Mexican, and German. Haas explores how these vivid accounts shaped public knowledge and created the very idea of Texas. * The Alcalde * Haas's well-written treatment of this diverse collection of travelogues highlights the deeply held racist attitudes of Anglo-American and European visitors and settlers toward the Native American and mixed-blood Hispanic peoples they encountered in Texas, as well as their almost unanimous tolerance of Black slavery, which structurally embedded deep divisions into the future. Fortunately, this volume provides yet more well-documented evidence refuting current political discourses in Texas and across the United States condemning critical race studies as an unfounded creation of the academy. * Journal of Southern History *
