creator: Hintermeister, Araceli

subject: Academic theses.

description: When historians speak of the Republic of the Rio Grande they feature the Republic, Mexico and Texas as the three main players, though each account seems to favor one over the others. Through the study of borderland history, we must analyze borderlands both from within and from without. While we need to expose and place value on the distinct histories of borderland communities, we cannot ignore the histories of the national communities that surround them. After all, to omit these stories would be to ignore the creation of a new space and diminish the influence of the constant transnational relationships and interactions that occur along the border. This thesis will follow the progression of northern Mexico from frontier to borderland during the 1800s and showcase how overlapping characteristics of a region in transition brought about feelings of separatism and otherness. With a thorough investigation of the key players, this thesis will interpret how interactions at the national and local levels influenced change within this borderland region.
