Résumé
The Texas Rangers from Slave Catchers to Segregation EnforcersThis comprehensive historical examination exposes the dark truth behind America's most celebrated law enforcement agency. From their creation in 1823 through the present day, the Texas Rangers have functioned not as heroic frontier defenders but as instruments of ethnic cleansing, enforcers of slavery and segregation, and protectors of Anglo-American elite interests through systematic violence against Mexican Americans, Indigenous peoples, and African Americans.
Drawing on extensive archival research, court records, survivor testimonies, and recently uncovered documentation, this book chronicles the Rangers' participation in genocide against Indigenous populations, their role as slave catchers who kidnapped freed people from Mexico, the massacre at Porvenir where fifteen unarmed farmers were executed, and La Matanza-the systematic murder of thousands of ethnic Mexicans between 1910 and 1920.
The narrative continues through their enforcement of segregation, their violent suppression of farmworker organizing in the 1960s, and the Supreme Court case that finally imposed federal oversight on their operations. This is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the true history of American policing, the construction of white supremacy in the Southwest, and the ongoing struggle for accountability and justice in law enforcement institutions.
