José Maria Escobar (born ca. 1751) was adopted by José Miguel Antonio Ramírez, and was brought to live in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico when he was nine years old. Maria Antonia Gertrudis Chapa was the daughter of Maria Rita López de Jaen, who was the second wife of Escobar's adoptive father. In 1770, Escobar married Maria Antonia Gertrudis Chapa. He inherited a portion of land called Porción 76 from Ramírez, and later purchased the remainder of Porción 76 from his mother in law and step-mother, Maria Rita López de Jaen. The property was in Mier, which later became part of Starr County, Texas. Escobar ancestors came from Spain to Mexico, some being soldiers with Cortez at Vera Cruz in 1519. Members of the Escobar family lived in Texas and northern Mexico, along the Rio Grande River. They settled mainly at Escobares, Los Sáenz, La Rosita, Roma (Roma-Los Sáenz), and Rio Grande City. Others moved to California, New York, Ohio, Washington D.C., and elsewhere.

Once relegated to the borders of literature—neither Mexican nor truly American—Chicana/o writers have always been in the vanguard of change, articulating the multicultural ethnicities, shifting identities, border realities, and even postmodern anxieties and hostilities that already characterize the twenty-first century. Indeed, it is Chicana/o writers' very in-between-ness that makes them authentic spokespersons for an America that is becoming increasingly Mexican/Latin American and for a Mexico that is ever more Americanized. In this pioneering study, Héctor Calderón looks at seven Chicana and Chicano writers whose narratives constitute what he terms an American Mexican literature. Drawing on the concept of "Greater Mexican" culture first articulated by Américo Paredes, Calderón explores how the works of Paredes, Rudolfo Anaya, Tomás Rivera, Oscar Zeta Acosta, Cherríe Moraga, Rolando Hinojosa, and Sandra Cisneros derive from Mexican literary traditions and genres that reach all the way back to the colonial era. His readings cover a wide span of time (1892-2001), from the invention of the Spanish Southwest in the nineteenth century to the América Mexicana that is currently emerging on both sides of the border. In addition to his own readings of the works, Calderón also includes the writers' perspectives on their place in American/Mexican literature through excerpts from their personal papers and interviews, correspondence, and e-mail exchanges he conducted with most of them.

On the plains between the San Antonio River and the Rio Grande lies the heartland of what is perhaps the largest ethnic region in the United States, Tejano South Texas. In this cultural geography, Daniel Arreola charts the many ways in which Texans of Mexican ancestry have established a cultural province in this Texas-Mexico borderland that is unlike any other Mexican American region. Arreola begins by delineating South Texas as an environmental and cultural region. He then explores who the Tejanos are, where in Mexico they originated, and how and where they settled historically in South Texas. Moving into the present, he examines many factors that make Tejano South Texas distinctive from other Mexican American regions—the physical spaces of ranchos, plazas, barrios, and colonias; the cultural life of the small towns and the cities of San Antonio and Laredo; and the foods, public celebrations, and political attitudes that characterize the region. Arreola's findings thus offer a new appreciation for the great cultural diversity that exists within the Mexican American borderlands.
