Imperial Texas (eBook, ePUB)

An Interpretive Essay in Cultural Geography

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A "unique and fascinating" look at the various peoples of the Lone Star state from colonial times to the 1960s, illustrated with eighteen maps ( American West). Imperial Texas examines the development of Texas as a human region, from the simple outline of the Spanish colony to the complex patterns of the modern state. In this study in cultural geography set into a historical framework, D. W. Meinig, professor of geography at Syracuse University, discusses the various peoples of Texas-who they are, where they came from, where they settled, and how they are proportioned one to another from place to place. In addition, numerous illustrations and maps are included, providing impressions of the populations and migrations that helped shape Texas's history and culture. "Geography has produced a few scholars who roam more freely in the world of ideas to produce studies of penetration and insight. Meinig is one of these men, and Imperial Texas is such a study." - Annals of the Association of American Geographers
