Overview: The Eight Essays Included In This Volume Examine The Dominant Narrative Of Texas History And Seek To Establish A Record That Includes Both Mexican Men And Women, Groups Whose Voices Have Been Notably Absent From The History Books. Finding Documents That Reflect The Experiences Of Those Outside Of The Mainstream Culture Is Difficult, Since Historical Archives Tend To Contain Materials Produced By The Privileged And Governing Classes Of Society.
