Bibliophiling Tejano ScholarshipSecondary Sources on Hispanic TexansBruce A. Glasrud $25 -- Order Form ($18.75 for Members) |
Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines bibliophile as "a lover of books," or "a book collector." As such Bruce Glasrud and Arnoldo De León have approached and accomplished the task of compiling a thorough bibliography of secondary works on Tejano scholarship-defined as those academic works that have Texas as a focus, setting, or theme, and have Mexican-descent people as their subjects.
The result is a much-needed reference tool useful to academicians and lay people alike. Bibliophiling is a 471-page reference book divided into the following sections making this bibliography easy to use and helpful in academic endeavors concerning Tejano scholarship: General · Bibliography/Historiography · A Province of New Spain, 1716-1821 · A Mexican Borderland, 1821-1836 · New Identity, Old Community, 1836-1880 · Into the Twentieth Century, 1880-1920 · Natives and Immigrants, 1920-1945 · Many Histories, 1945-1966 · El Movimiento, 1966-1976 · Once Forgotten, 1975 to the Present · Economics/Labor·Education · Family · Tejanas · Culture · Folklore · Literature · Music·Religion · Social Constructs · Demography · Health/Healing · Communities (Urban and Rural) · Author Index
