Politics of the Rio Grande Valley
An Insider's Perspective to Regional Politics
Description
Politics of the Rio Grande Valley: An Insider's Perspective to Regional Politics provides a nuanced understanding of regional politics in Southern Texas. While most research tends to focus on macro and international structures, here Carlos D. Gutierrez-Mannix and Alexandre Couture Gagnon lead and present an in-depth analysis of the region and the social, political and historical contexts in which it developed. Each chapter is written by professors who are specialists in their field and who have extensive knowledge on the politics of the Rio Grande Valley. From a social, historical and political perspective, Politics of the Rio Grande Valley allows the reader to understand how the Rio Grande Valley is a unique region which continues to evolve and which plays an important role in Texas and American Politics.
