Book excerpt: During the mid-nineteenth century, Texas became a prime destination for Czech and Polish immigrants seeking freedom and economic opportunities. Leaving their home regions of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia in the thousands, Slavic settlers overcame many obstacles while establishing their communities across the Texas countryside. Surrounded by the dominant Anglo culture, the immigrants struggled to resist the pressures of assimilation and preserve their national identity. Both the Czechs and the Poles utilized a number of common strategies in order to maintain their cultural heritage. By focusing on their education, language, religion, and fundamental sense of self-reliance, the Slavs successfully retained their traditional ways into the early twentieth century. Czech and Polish communities thrived across Texas until the outbreak of World War II fundamentally altered American society and brought an end to their traditional way of life. As the younger generations moved to the cities in search of work, Slavic culture began to disappear from the countryside. Although the Czechs and Poles lost their rural roots, they retained a strong pride for their cultural heritage. To this day, Texans of Czech and Polish ancestry cherish their national traditions and strive to reconnect with their past. While the golden days of Slavic culture in the state have passed, the Czech and Polish Texans' continued efforts to promote the appreciation of Slavic culture insure that elements of Czech and Polish identity continue to exist across Texas into the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Inside Texas written by Cynthia A. Brandimarte and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-31 with total page 1074 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Inside Texas: Culture, Identity and Houses, 1878–1920” is a 464 page book with 296 photos that tests and rejects the notion that Texas homes, like all things Texan, were unique and different. Over the 40 year time span covered by the book, decorating ideas nationally and in Texas went from the era of Victorianism with “all that stuff” to the spare, clean lines of the arts and crafts movement. By 1920, like Americans across the country, many Texans, especially the wealthier, were taking their decorating ideas from the new professionals – architects and designers – and their homes reflected less their own identity than the taste and eye of the decorator. In seven years of research, Brandimarte traveled the state, collecting photographs of interiors of Texas homes – rare in comparison to exterior views. The images reprinted here are arranged neither in chronological order nor according to decorating style but by identities –occupation, family, ethnicity, social group, region, culture and refinement, class and style. Brief biographical information about the homeowners is incorporated into the text. “Inside Texas” is about people and houses. It is social history, a significant contribution to scholarship, an invaluable resource for preservationist, docents, architects and designers as well as a book to be treasured by anyone who loves old houses.
