From the front flap of the dustjacket: "'A love of place, a fierce loyalty to the state, and a desire to advance its power and prestige' -- these characteristics of nationalism describe the feelings of Texans toward their nation-state in the nineteenth century and still persist in half-humorous cliche's about Texas bigness and uniqueness. According to this book, fervent nationalism was both an understandable result of and an important causal factor in Texas history."

Nation Within A Nation: The Rise of Texas Nationalism,
By
This review is from: A Nation Within a Nation: The Rise of Texas Nationalism (Series in American Studies) (Hardcover)
Texans have often been viewed by other Americans-indeed, the World-as "a bit different." Mark Nackman's NATION WITHIN A NATION goes a long way in explaining this phenomenon. Nackman traces the development of Texas nationalism during its time as a provence of Mexico, a republic, and a state in the Union. As a republic, Texas (the only state that can claim a previous existance as an independent nation) essentially developed its own peculiar "nationality" which is still very much in existence today. This is a well researched, scholarly book that will appeal to readers interested in Texas history and the development of Texas culture.
