O knihe

During the formative years of Dallas, Texas, the Hispanic population
moved in circles that united and developed as a uniform society, building
and molding the community to reach out and redefine themselves. But
over the years, this trend slowly subsided. By uniting and bridging our
differences, we can better appreciate today's increasingly misunderstood
Hispanic culture.

From personal experiences in an impoverished and violent neighborhood
to his political race for the House of Representatives, author Tony Aguilar
details the political history of Dallas and the rising tide of Hispanic
immigrants in Texas. He also discusses political trends and shifts, and
customs in various Mexican communities, including:

* The birth of the Tejano

* The era of the dead horse

* The flashback movement

* Illegal immigration

Aguilar addresses the faults and possible short-comings that await
political leaders with regard to the increasing Hispanic population. He also
demonstrates the influence of family and tradition in modern politics.
Texas Tide serves as a survival guide and road map to success for anyone
interested in entering or continuing in politics in the American Southwest.
