Textrella is a guiding star for people who, by ancestry or fascination, share a desire to be better acquainted with the rich Latin heritage of Texas. For more than three centuries, citizens have drawn identity from factors of geography, era, race, culture, family origin, diversity status, and political destiny. Labels for historic eras such as “Spanish Texas” and indigenous populations like “Tejano” have grown in value more recently. Our objective to provide enrichment of greatest historical accuracy to readers of the most expansive identity bring the Latin foundation that is inalienable to them all into focus.
The strength of Textrella articles rests in the veritable fortress of today’s academic works on Latin Texas. From its pinnacle, we view a panorama of history where Latin story elements cross the centuries of Texas as a trail of heritage. Each article is a segment of roadmap to guide readers through a topic of distinct significance on that path. Individually or as a whole, they offer enrichment to people exploring their Latin heritage, insight to students seeking a primer to the evolution of historical themes, and inspiration to all who prefer an observation deck view of an expansive cultural terrain.
Most importantly, we encourage you to continue your exploration into other sources. Each article recommends scholarly and original works that take the topics to deeper levels. Most people, places, and events in the articles can also be explored online. Textrella articles do not offer links to related information on external sites; instead, we recommend that you augment our articles with liberal searches of the Texas State Historical Association handbook and The Portal to Texas History. The Wikipedia Free Encyclopedia is also valuable in corroborating the same topics when used with moderation.
