    Copyright by Jennifer Rose Nájera 2005 The Dissertation Committee for Jennifer Rose Nájera Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Troublemakers, Religiosos, or Radicals? Everyday Acts of Racial Integration in a South Texas Community Committee: Martha Menchaca, Supervisor Richard Flores José Limón Angela Valenzuela Emilio Zamora Troublemakers, Religiosos, or Radicals? Everyday Acts of Racial Integration in a South Texas Community by Jennifer Rose Nájera, A.B.; A.M.; M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin December 2005 Dedication To my parents, Joe and Rose Najera, and to the Mexican origin people of La Feria whose stories had not been told. Acknowledgements The process of conceptualizing, researching, and writing this dissertation has challenged me both professionally and personally in that this project has been almost as much auto/ethnography as it has been historical ethnography. While it is has always been my intention to produce a written work that I could share with the community of La Feria, I have also written this dissertation for myself. It is a history of the town where my mother was born and lived the earliest years of her life after our family emigrated from Mexico. While it has, at times, felt like opening old wounds to write about practices of segregation, it is my hope that also writing about integration may help to heal those wounds. I would first and foremost like to thank the people of La Feria, who so generously welcomed me into their community as a prodigal daughter, scholar, fellow traveler, and friend.

  • 2011 Program
    2 x Rio Grande Valley Sports Hall of Fame I welcome you to the 24th Annual Rio Grande Valley Sports Hall of Fame Induction Banquet. We are happy to have the banquet return to Brownsville, after having been in McAllen and Donna for the past four years. Brownsville hosted the two largest crowds of our banquet history in 2005 and 2006 with attendance of 360 guests. With the outstanding Class of 2011 being honored tonight, the attendance should surpass 300 again! I offer my congratulations to the 2011 class of seven inductees! As is usually the case, football again dominates the class that was selected by 85 voters from the group of past inductees and Hall of Fame board members, who took time to study the biographies and submit their votes last September. Six of the seven new inductees were outstanding football players representing their high schools. Two of them (Bob Brumley and Sammy Garza) went on to play professional football after highly successful collegiate careers. Another (Travis Sanders) still holds a 33-year old consecutive 100-yard rushing record for the Valley. All-State quarterback & safety (Donald Guillot) went on to NCAA baseball stardom at the University of Texas-PanAmerican, while the football coach of the class (Bruce Bush) has a stellar record of 41 successful seasons in South Texas. Another former quarterback from the state semi-finalist PSJA Bears (Carlos Vela) became a well-known trackand& field coach in the Valley. In addition, not to be outdone is the man (Ronnie Zamora) who helps players and coaches of several sports gain local, state and national recognition with his sports media writing, announcing and website work, always bringing recognition for others to the Valley.

  • “¡Todos Somos Indios!” Revolutionary Imagination, Alternative Modernity, and Transnational Organizing in the Work of Silko, Tamez, and Anzaldúa
    “¡Todos Somos Indios!” Revolutionary Imagination, Alternative Modernity, and Transnational Organizing in the Work of Silko, Tamez, and Anzaldúa JONI ADAMSON Once again hundreds of thousands of Mexicans took to the streets denouncing the government’s military actions and demanding a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Chiapas. It was during this series of demonstrations . that demonstrators coined the chants “¡Todos somos indios!” (We are all Indians!) and “¡Todos somos Marcos!” (We are all Marcos!). ——María Josefina Saldaña-Portillo, The Revolutionary Imagination in the Americas and the Age of Development Leslie Marmon Silko’s celebrated novel Ceremony helped shape the expectations that readers bring to literary works by Native American authors. Like the protagonists of earlier groundbreaking Native American novels such as D’Arcy McNickle’s The Surrounded and N. Scott Momaday’s House Made of Dawn, the main protagonist, Tayo, must somehow resist oppressive practices both on and off the reservation and find his way back to home and healing. Silko’s highly anticipated second novel, however, challenged the expectations her earlier novel had helped to create. The novel focuses on an Army of Retribution and Justice marching from Mexico toward the US and its loose alliances with other groups of ecowarriors, Yaqui resistance fighters, homeless army veterans, and computer hackers. Popular press reviewers of Almanac of the Dead admitted their disappointment at finding the novel so different from her previous work. They assailed the novel because it lacked the “authentic” focus on Native American storytelling and healing practices found in Storyteller and Ceremony and, instead, focused on the radical and—in their judgment—frightening idea of an army marching north toward the southern US border.1 Despite early negative reviews, in the nearly twenty years since its publication, Almanac has garnered increasing respect among readers and scholars.
