{"product_id":"contested-empire-sam-w-haynes-9781623493097","title":"Contested Empire: Rethinking the Texas Revolution","description":"To a large degree, the story of Texas' secession from Mexico has been undertaken by scholars of the state. Early twentieth century historians of the revolutionary period, most notably Eugene Barker and William Binkley, characterized the conflict as a clash of two opposing cultures, yet their exclusive focus on the region served to reinforce popular notions of a unique Texas past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Disconnected from a broader historiography, scholars have been left to ponder the most arcane details of the revolutionary narrative--such as the circumstances of David Crockett's death and whether William Barret Travis really did draw a line in the sand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In\u003ci\u003e Contested Empire: Rethinking the Texas Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e, five distinguished scholars take a broader, transnational approach to the 1835-36 conflict. The result of the 48th Annual Walter Prescott Webb Memorial Lectures, held at the University of Texas at Arlington in March, 2013, these essays explore the origins and consequences of the events that gave birth to the Texas Republic in ways that extend beyond the borders of the Lone Star State.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam W.
