Download or read book The White Scourge written by Neil Foley and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1998-01-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a book that fundamentally challenges our understanding of race in the United States, Neil Foley unravels the complex history of ethnicity in the cotton culture of central Texas. This engrossing narrative, spanning the period from the Civil War through the collapse of tenant farming in the early 1940s, bridges the intellectual chasm between African American and Southern history on one hand and Chicano and Southwestern history on the other. The White Scourge describes a unique borderlands region, where the cultures of the South, West, and Mexico overlap, to provide a deeper understanding of the process of identity formation and to challenge the binary opposition between "black" and "white" that often dominates discussions of American race relations. In Texas, which by 1890 had become the nation's leading cotton-producing state, the presence of Mexican sharecroppers and farm workers complicated the black-white dyad that shaped rural labor relations in the South. With the transformation of agrarian society into corporate agribusiness, white racial identity began to fracture along class lines, further complicating categories of identity. Foley explores the "fringe of whiteness," an ethno-racial borderlands comprising Mexicans, African Americans, and poor whites, to trace shifting ideologies and power relations. By showing how many different ethnic groups are defined in relation to "whiteness," Foley redefines white racial identity as not simply a pinnacle of status but the complex racial, social, and economic matrix in which power and privilege are shared. Foley skillfully weaves archival material with oral history interviews, providing a richly detailed view of everyday life in the Texas cotton culture. Addressing the ways in which historical categories affect the lives of ordinary people, The White Scourge tells the broader story of racial identity in America; at the same time it paints an evocative picture of a unique American region. This truly multiracial narrative touches on many issues central to our understanding of American history: labor and the role of unions, gender roles and their relation to ethnicity, the demise of agrarian whiteness, and the Mexican-American experience.
Download or read book Relationships Among Landowner and Land Ownership Characteristics and Participation in Conservation Programs in Central Texas written by Jennifer Cearley Sanders and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent land ownership trends in Texas have created concerns for natural resource agencies throughout the state (Wilkins et al. 2000, 2003; Steinbach 2001, American Farmland Trust 2003). An increase in the number of small properties has been associated with drastic changes in management emphasis in many areas and has led to concerns regarding landscape and ecosystem-level processes. Additionally, these apparent changes in management emphasis have subsequently led to concerns regarding the effectiveness of traditional natural resource conservation programs for all types of landowners. In this study, I sought to quantify differences in landowner characteristics, attitudes, and motivations in the Leon River Watershed using an informant directed interview process (Holstein and Gubrium 1995). I contacted and interviewed 60 landowners in the 4 central Texas counties contained within the Leon River Watershed. I found that landowners in my study could be classified into 1 of 3 categories that represented distinct goals, attitudes and motivations regarding land ownership and agriculture and wildlife management. Born to the Land, Ag. Business, and Re-born to the Land owners each display strong ideals regarding the proper context of land management, extremely distinctive ethical attitudes regarding their role as stewards of their land, and identifiable differences in their willingness to participate in various natural resource conservation programs. Natural resource agencies and organizations will now have the ability to profile landowners as to their likelihood of participation in various types of programs and conservation initiatives. The findings of this study could lead to dramatic changes in the way landowners are viewed and dealt with by many natural resource professionals.
Download or read book Fertile Ground Narrow Choices written by Rebecca Sharpless and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2005-10-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural women comprised the largest part of the adult population of Texas until 1940 and in the American South until 1960. On the cotton farms of Central Texas, women's labor was essential. In addition to working untold hours in the fields, women shouldered most family responsibilities: keeping house, sewing clothing, cultivating and cooking food, and bearing and raising children. But despite their contributions to the southern agricultural economy, rural women's stories have remained largely untold. Using oral history interviews and written memoirs, Rebecca Sharpless weaves a moving account of women's lives on Texas cotton farms. She examines how women from varying ethnic backgrounds--German, Czech, African American, Mexican, and Anglo-American--coped with difficult circumstances. The food they cooked, the houses they kept, the ways in which they balanced field work with housework, all yield insights into the twentieth-century South. And though rural women's lives were filled with routines, many of which were undone almost as soon as they were done, each of their actions was laden with importance, says Sharpless, for the welfare of a woman's entire family depended heavily upon her efforts.
