Paperback. Zustand: Fair. In honoring the heroic legend of the Texas Revolution, generations of scholars and Texans themselves have cleansed the revolution of its messier--and perhaps more truly revolutionary--dimensions. Focusing on the pre-existing causes of the conflict of 1835-36 and the military execution of the war, they have neglected the political turbulence, regional disharmonies, conflicts of interest, social upheaval, and racial and ethnic strife that characterized the period. This groundbreaking work on the Texas Revolution offers the first systematic analysis of the event as political and social history. This fresh perspective, drawn from exhaustive examination of primary documents (claims records and land documents as well as traditional manuscript collections), portrays the Texans entering their quarrel with Mexico as a fragmented people--individualistic, divided from one community to another by ethnic and racial tensions, and lacking a consensus about the meaning of political changes in Mexico. Paul D. Lack examines, one at a time, the various groups that participated in the Texas Revolution. He concludes that the army was highly politicized, overly democratic and individualistic, and lacking in discipline and respect for property. With the statistical profile of the army he has compiled, Lack puts to rest forever the idea that the Anglo community gave an overwhelming response to the call to arms. He details instead the tensions between army volunteers and the majority of Texans who refused military service. Lack provides the most satisfactory account of Texas Tories yet written and, in a particularly sensitive treatment of Tejanos, shows the dilemma Texas Mexicans faced in the conflict. He traces the role of black Texans, the panic within Texas over slave rebellion, and the problem of runaway slaves in the Revolution. For the masses of Texans, Lack convincingly demonstrates, the Revolution was a time of dislocation and grief that even the eventual outcome of battle did not heal. This scholarly epic, sure to become a classic and a model for future research on the Revolution, shows clearly how the experiences of the years 1835-36 left a new nation burdened by political upheaval, social disorder, ethnic bitterness, and other consequences of a failed revolution, all of which helped to define the Texas identity for the future.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Texans take great pride in having been an independent nation prior to annexation to the United States, but few understand the overwhelming challenges even to the basic demand on all government; i.e., providing protection and security. When the government proved incapable of fulfilling its most basic responsibilities, citizen-soldiers did the job themselves, saving the country until the U. S. came to the rescue. The Rangers prevailed because of captains and volunteers alike who, though having no formal training, grasped key strategic and tactical principles, allowing them to prevail against equally courageous enemies, earning their hold on the land in a primal struggle for survival. The Rangers enrolled hundreds of volunteers; in fact, in the hotly contested areas a clear majority of settlers turned out in response to calls for Ranger companies issued by leaders who would become legendary. They watered the land with their own blood and that of their enemies, a story that has never before been told comprehensively and accurately.…

Zustand: New. Recovers the history of a significant regional revolt against the Mexican Republic, presaging other federalist rebellions and the Mexican-American War.&Uumlber den AutorPaul D. Lack, author of The Texas Revolutionary Exper.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1838, a rebellion began in northern Mexico. A loose collective sought to establish a 'Republic of the Rio Grande': the rebellion lasted two years, failed, and was then forgotten by history. This regional effort to establish an independent republic achieved some fleeting victories, although they were flanked by triumphs of the Supreme Government. Initially fed by a desire to defend the federalist system against a consolidated and unsupportive central government, zealous leaders such as Antonio Zavala and Antonio Canales led the popular uprising.As the skirmishes continued, these norteamericanos resorted to increasingly desperate measures, including soliciting aid from the newfound Republic of Texas, which supplied covert support for the rebel cause in the form of manpower, funding, and supplies. When the chastened Anglo Texans finally fled back to their homeland with the tacit compliance of the government of the Republic of Mexico, the states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas became entirely free of the norteamericanos, who faced almost unanimous hatred in Mexico by the time of their departure. Leaders from both Mexican factions in the civil conflict then sought peace and partnership against the threatened aggrandizement of the Republic of Texas. In that regard, this inconclusive regional revolt had many precursive elements to the aggression of the United States that resulted in war against Mexico from 1845 to 1848, fulfilling the imperial dreams previously uttered by Anglo Texans during this federalist revolt of 18381840. Searching for the Republic of the Rio Grande reads the smoke that would soon fan into the flames of open war against the Mexican Republic.…

"The exhibition includes work from seventeen galleries located in the East Village or the area east of Second Avenue, just below Houston Street: CASH, Christminster, Civilian Warfare, East 7th Street Gallery. Executive Gallery, 51 X, Fun Gallery, Garet/ Kohn Gallery, Gracie Mansion. International with Monument, Nature Morte, New Math, Oggi-Domani, Pat Hearn. Piezo Electric, P.P.O.W. and Sharpe Gallery. Work by artists associated with the galleries have been selected by the individual gallery directors, and Helene Winer, organizer of the exhibition. Helene Winer is a past Director of Artists Space and currently co-owner of Metro Pictures a commercial gallery in SoHo. As part of Artists Space''''s celebration of its 10th anniversary season, she has organized this exhibition to examine a growing number of artist organized commercial exhibition spaces. Ms. Winer''''s past experience with the non-profit art community and her present position in the commercial art world offer a unique outlook on this new trend. In keeping with Artists Space''''s support of new art through both its Exhibition Program and Grants Program, NEW GALLERIES OF THE LOWER EAST SIDE is a look at a new outlet for emerging art: an outlet which straddles the lines between the artists cooperative, the non-profit alternative space, the artist organized independent exhibition and the commercial gallery. NEW GALLERIES OF THE LOWER EAST SIDE acknowledges the recent appearance and rapid proliferation of more than twenty commercial art galleries that are introducing new artists and art. This phenomenon has created overnight, it seems, active new exhibition outlets for artists, an on-going vehicle for massive social opening events, a Sunday activity for the art audience, a new map in the Gallery Guide and a new focus of excitement and energy in the art community. The galleries are now numerous and offer more than the aesthetic that was first presented by the pioneers (Gracie Mansion, Fun Gallery and 51 X) and which has come to be associated with the East Village. They are very professional enterprises that intend to provide serious support and attention to the artists they show. Many of the galleries are artist owned. The artist/owners who converted storefronts to studios have now converted these studios to galleries. Most of these owners work at jobs separate from the gallery to support the activity and many live ''''behind the shop." The East Village Eye and New York Beat play the role that the SoHo News and the Village Voice did for SoHo and Tribeca. The East Village and the Lower East Side of New York ha. …
