We Are Not Tijuana: The Valley Protests Washington's Crackdown On Gambling, Robin Robinson Oct 2007

We Are Not Tijuana: The Valley Protests Washington's Crackdown On Gambling, Robin Robinson

History Faculty Publications and Presentations

During Prohibition, the US Treasury Department limited the number of hours that international bridges spanning the Rio Grande River were open in an attempt to control such illegal activities as gambling. Brownsville, Texas, typically received an exemption for the bridge between Brownsville and Matamoros, Mexico, by arguing that Matamoros lacked the vice problems that had prompted the border restrictions elsewhere. The article discusses actions taken when, in August 1931, Brownsville was not exempted.


Review Of Corridos In Migrant Memory, Jose A. P. Alaniz Oct 2007

Review Of Corridos In Migrant Memory, Jose A. P. Alaniz

History Faculty Publications and Presentations

As a Mexican American academic, I found that this study hits home. Professor Chew Sanchez's book deals with the power and influence that traditional Mexican ballads known as corridos have on Mexicans, Mexican Americans, and specifically, Mexican immigrants in the United States. The aim of the author is to examine the role of corridos in shaping the cultural memories and identities of transnational Mexican groups, focusing on transnational communities from northern Chihuahua dirough northern Texas and New Mexico.


The United States Military Occupation Of Matamoros, Mexico, 1846 - 1848, James Mills Oct 2007

The United States Military Occupation Of Matamoros, Mexico, 1846 - 1848, James Mills

History Faculty Publications and Presentations

US troops occupied the Mexican border town of Matamoros from 1846 to 1848 during the Mexican-American War. The troops were not welcome, but no serious confrontations occurred. American merchants established stores, restaurants, hotels, and other businesses in the town. After the occupation, the army moved to the north side of the Rio Grande and founded a new community called Brownsville. The occupation helped develop the social and commercial relationship between Matamoros and the Texas town of Brownsville.

Review Of The Southern Journey Of A Civil War Marine: The Illustrated Note-Book Of Henry O. Gusley, Charles V. Waite Apr 2007

Review Of The Southern Journey Of A Civil War Marine: The Illustrated Note-Book Of Henry O. Gusley, Charles V. Waite

History Faculty Publications and Presentations

Henry O. Gusley was a Union enlisted man who kept a diary of his experiences as part of the Marine contingent on board the steamships USS Westfield and USS Clifton from May 1862 through September 1863. His notebook fell into Confederate hands when Gusley and hundreds of others surrendered after the humiliating Federal defeat at Sabine Pass. The Galveston Tri-Weekly News began printing passages from Gusley’s diary in serial form, and these entries became popular reading among Confederate Texans. Ironically, Gusley himself wrote to the paper from Camp Groce, the Confederate prison camp near Hempstead, to request copies of his …


Review Of Manifest Manhood And The Antebellum American Empire, Gerhard Grytz Apr 2007

Review Of Manifest Manhood And The Antebellum American Empire, Gerhard Grytz

History Faculty Publications and Presentations

Amy Greenberg’s study Manifest Manhood provides an intriguing new interpretation of the meaning of Manifest Destiny and the discourse of American expansionism during the middle part of the nineteenth century. Reversing commonly held historical interpretations, Greenberg convincingly shows that Manifest Destiny continued to hold its appeal to Americans after the Mexican-American War. Proponents of aggressive expansionism viewed the Caribbean, the Pacific, and Central America as the “new frontiers” in need of conquering. Between the conclusion of the Mexican- American War and the outbreak of the Civil War, the practice of filibustering, the invasion of foreign territory by private American mercenaries …

The Use Of Web-Based Tools To Teach Action Research: A Developing Instructional Model For Teacher Researchers, Veronica L. Estrada, Alcione N. Ostorga

Bilingual and Literacy Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations

Given the present demands for teacher accountability, it is imperative that teacher preparation programs prepare teachers by developing their ability to reflect deeply about their practices and to seek better approaches in instruction. Action research offers a possible means of promoting critical reflectivity prior to graduation. However, undergraduates have not yet been exposed to the ways of research to make their inquiries systematic and their conclusions reliable and valid. As proponents of the development of teachers who are reflective practitioners, we had two purposes for embarking on this research project: 1. to engage in our own action research to develop …
