Table of ContentsReviewsThis impressive collection of essays reminds the reader that El Despoblado region is neither empty nor uninhabited but rich in human history that predates European intrusion and perseveres over time. --Miguel Levario, author, Militarizing the Border: When Mexicans Became the Enemy This impressive collection of essays reminds the reader that El Despoblado region is neither empty nor uninhabited but rich in human history that predates European intrusion and perseveres over time. --Miguel Levario, author, Militarizing the Border: When Mexicans Became the Enemy Several features make this compilation a worthy contribution to the growing literature on regional studies. First, it serves as a useful overview of a too-often overlooked section of the state-the Big Bend. Second, it provides insights into life there through the lens of history, archaeology, ethnicity and race, folklore, anthropology, and other fields of inquiry. Third, the work brings to a wider audience the value of the Journal of Big Bend Studies, a periodical whose publications equal in substance those issued by other Texas regional periodicals. Last, it comes from the creative mind of the esteemed scholars Bruce Glasrud and Robert Mallouf, two academicians who have devoted much energy to promoting scholarly investigations of the Big Bend. --Arnoldo De Leon, professor, Angelo State University-- (07/01/2013) Bruce Glasrud and Robert Mallouf contribute significantly to our understanding of the Texas past with this fascinating anthology of essays on the Big Bend region. The time span they cover is immense, from prehistory through the nineteenth century, and the range of disciplines this volume weaves together--scholars of history, archeology, and folklore, along with geologists, biologists, geographers and practitioners--contribute to the deep and rich discussion of the land, the peoples, and the cultures that define the Big Bend region and its past. Appropriately, the theme that runs through this collection is the diversity of the peoples of the Big Bend, who, from the pre-historic peoples who first settled the area to the Indians, Spanish, Mexicans, Anglos, and African Americans who arrived in more recent times, made the Big Bend the crossroads of cultures that it continues to be today. --Cary D.
