Juan Casas to speak at Victoria College Feb 4, 2011

Juan Casas, author of Federico Villalba's Texas, presents a paper at Victoria College in Victoria, Texas that enhances our knowledge of the history that affected the Terlingua area.  His paper is titled, "The  Omission of Spanish and Spanish Mexican  Contributions from Tejano/Texas History."

Victoria College, in Victoria Texas, is presenting the John W. Stormont Lectures on South Texas on Thursday, February 3 and Friday, February 4.  Juan's presentation will be on Friday morning at 11:00 AM.  Juan tells us this paper is a direct result of what he noticed while doing research for his book, Federico Villalba's Texas.

The following two quotes from his paper give us its focus:

"Mexicans have typically been depicted as bandidos or swarthy, inconsequential characters that were unworthy of positive mention in the architecture of Big Bend history. I discovered that the slight to my great-grandfather, and other fellow pioneers, such as Martín Solis, Félix Domíguez, Félix Gómez, and Ramon Molinar, to name a few, was symptomatic of an issue of a much bigger scale. In general, I found that Spanish and Spanish Mexican contributions in Texas history were largely overlooked or somehow ignobly melded into obscurity in mainstream history books."

" ...contrary to what mainstream Texas history books tell us, Texas history does not begin in 1836 with the establishment of the third Republic of Texas."

After his presentation Juan Manuel Casas will make his paper available to be published in Familias de Terlingua.  You will find the link to Juan Manuel Casas' paper here. 

This is the link to the Stormont Lectures on South Texas with the schedule for the lectures.
