Catarino Garza's Revolution on the Texas-Mexico Border (American Encounters/Global Interactions)
&ldquo;Launched from South Texas in 1891, a rebellion against Mexican dictator Porfirio D&iacute;az spread quickly to both sides of the permeable U.S.-Mexico border. In this smart transnational study, Elliott Young locates the wellsprings of this nearly forgotten episode in the life of its remarkable leader, journalist Catarino Garza, and in the social, racial, and political inequities that characterized borderlands society.&rdquo;&mdash;David J. Weber, Director of the Clements Center for Southwest Studies at Southern Methodist University
