<br/><br/> "The edited collection examines violence against Mexicans and Mexican Americans in Texas between 1910 and 1920, perpetrated by strangers, neighbors, vigilantes, and especially law enforcement officers. It also chronicles the efforts of José Tomas Canales, who called for an investigation into the violence committed by Texas Rangers, inspiring a new era of Mexican-American civil rights activism in Texas"--
