Conflict and Commonality in the Texas-Mexico Border Region, 1830-1880
Miguel Ángel González Quiroga
Clements Center Fellow for the Study of Southwestern America
Southern Methodist University
The region of the lower Rio Grande and south central Texas became the
principal zone of contact between Anglo and Mexicans in the 19th century.
The common perception is that much of this contact was characterized by
racism, hatred and violence. This perception has been reinforced by writers
and historians who have focused on military and political leaders, as well
as rebels and bandits. When the focus is shifted to a different set of
historical actors, like merchants, laborers and missionaries, a different
kind of history begins to emerge, a history in which Anglos and Mexicans
shared common needs and common problems. Amidst the conflict of the period,
people of the two races came together to form a commonality of interest in
the border region which contrasts with the perception of a permanently
hostile and violent border.
Miguel Ángel González Quiroga received his B.A. in history from the
University of Houston and his M.A. in Latin American history from the
Universidad de las Américas in Puebla, Mexico. He has co-authored two books
and co-edited two others on the border region. His latest effort has been
as co-editor, with Timothy Bowman of SMU, of Melinda Rankin's, Twenty Years
Among the Mexicans: Narrative of Missionary Labor, which was published in
2008 by the Clements Center and the DeGolyer Library. He is spending the
spring semester as a Clements Center Fellow for the Study of Southwestern
America completing his manuscript, "Conflict and Commonality in the
Texas-Mexico Border Region, 1830-1880," for publication.
