Fighting Their Own Battles: Mexican Americans, African Americans, and the Struggle for Civil Rights in Texas
ISBN: 9781469618951 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between 1940 and 1975, Mexican Americans and African Americans in Texas fought a number of battles in court, at the ballot box, in schools, and on the streets to eliminate segregation and state-imposed racism. Although both groups engaged in civil rights struggles as victims of similar forms of racism and discrimination, they were rarely unified. In Fighting Their Own Battles, Brian Behnken explores the cultural dissimilarities, geographical distance, class tensions, and organizational differences that all worked to separate Mexican Americans and blacks.

Fort Worth: Outpost, Cowtown, Boomtown
ISBN: 9780806144924 / Angielski / Twarda / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From its beginnings as an army camp in the 1840s, Fort Worth has come to be one of Texas's--and the nation's--largest cities, a thriving center of culture and commerce. But along the way, the city's future, let alone its present prosperity, was anything but certain. Fort Worth tells the story of how this landlocked outpost on the arid plains of Texas made and remade itself in its early years, setting a pattern of boom-and-bust progress that would see the city through to the twenty-first century. Harold Rich takes up the story in 1880, when Fort Worth found itself in...

Banking in Oklahoma, 1907-2000
ISBN: 9780806144955 / Angielski / Twarda / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of banking in twentieth-century Oklahoma is also the story of the Sooner State s first hundred years, as Michael J. Hightower s new book demonstrates. Oklahoma statehood coincided with the Panic of 1907, and both events signaled seismic shifts in state banking practices. Much as Oklahoma banks shed their frontier persona to become more tightly integrated in the national economy, so too was decentralized banking revealed as an anachronism, utterly unsuited to an increasingly global economy. With creation of the Federal Reserve System in 1913 and subsequent choice of Oklahoma City as...
