In Tejano Proud: Tex-Mex Music in the Twentieth Century, Guadalupe San Miguel, Jr., chronicles the many dimensions of this important musical form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRooted in Mexican culture and shaped by influences from the United States and the rest of the world, the diversity and complexity of this music give an expression to the people and the borderlands culture from which the music grew. San Miguel provides an engaging history of the evolution of m sica tejana--its ups and downs and its importance to Mexican Texas culture in the context of Anglo-Mexican relations. He also discusses the more recent development of the Tejano recording industry and the role women have begun to play in an industry long dominated by men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe twentieth century has seen Texas Mexican music balance between the traditional and the modern, remaining rooted in Mexico while taking nourishment from Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States. This music has helped shape the daily experiences of Mexican Texans. Today, the music's biggest stars are seen as affirming representations of Tejano ethnic pride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585441884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.34h x 6.14w x 0.61d","brand":"Guadalupe San Miguel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660667777180,"sku":"9781585441884","price":21.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ea1fad76-8835-49f4-aaf3-e9f7dfcc8216.jpg?v=1603897256","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tejano-proud-tex-mex-music-in-the-twentieth-century-9781585441884","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
