No Color is MY Kind
The Life of Eldrewey Steams and
the Integration of Houston
By Thomas R. Cole
While other southern cities rocked with vio-
lence, HIouston integrated its public accommo-
dations peacefully. In these pages appear fig-
ures such as Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther
King, Jr., Leon Jaworski, and Dan Rather, all
of whom - along with lIldrewey Stearns -
maneuvered and conspired to integrate the city
quickly and calmly. This emotionally charged
biography weaves together the life story of
Stcarns, a charismatic and deeply troubled civil
rights leader, and a major historic event. The
poignant relationship between author and sub-
ject sheds powerful and healing light on con-
temlporary race relations in America, and espe-
cially on issues of power, authority, and mental
illness.

LIJ and Mexican Americans
The Paradox of Power
By lulie Leininger Pycior
The author explores the complex and some-
times contradictory relations between Lyndon
Johnson and Mexican Americans and shows
that Johnson's genuine desire to help them-
and reap the political dividends -did not pre-
vent him from allying himself with individuals
and groups intent on thwarting Mexican Ameri-
cans' organizing efforts. This complicated rela-
tionship influenced both the political develop-
ment of Mexican Americans and 13BJ's career
with consequences that reverberated in society
at large.

VoiCes from the Wild Horse Desert
The Vaquero Families of the King and
Kenedy Ranches
By lane Clements Monday and
Betty Bailey Colley
From 1989 to 1995, the authors interviewed
more than sixty members of vaquero families,
ranging in age from 20 to 93, whose work has
made the legendary ranches of Texas' Wild
Horse Desert possible. Some of the vaquero
families have worked on the ranches through
five or six generations. Their words provide a
panoramic view of ranch work and life that
spans most of the twentieth century.
