For de la Teja, the Tejano experience in San Antonio is a casestudy of a community in transition, one moved by forceswithin and without. From its beginnings as an imperial outpostto becoming the center of another, newer empire—itself intransition—the social, political, and military history of SanAntonio was central to Texas history, to say nothing of the largercontexts of Mexican and American history.
