Class and Culture on the South
Texas Border
By Chad Richardson
Here is the fullest portrait currently available
of the people of the South Texas borderlands.
The book uses the voices of several hundred
Valley residents, backed by the findings of sociological
surveys, to describe the lives of migrant
farm workers, colonia residents,
undocumented domestic servants, maquila
workers, and Mexican street children. Likewise,
it explores race and ethnic relations
among Mexican Americans, permanent Anglo
residents,"Winter Texans," Blacks, and Mexican
immigrants.This firsthand material vividly
reveals how social class, race, and
ethnicity have interacted to form a unique
border culture.
