Abstract

126 Southwestern Historical Quarterly July mation of gendered and racial herencias along the Texas borderlands. Through González’s writings we witness the nineteenth-centur y struggles of landed families and their heirs in the twentieth century whose prox- imity to the border made them subjects of racist comments to “return to Mexico,” as evidenced in González’s notes. An early twentieth century author, noted scholar, and civic activist in Texas, González emphasized the political consciousness that was part of her herencia, for which she took responsibility to make visible. In chapter four, Roybal turns her attention to New Mexico and the writings of Fabiola Cabeza de Baca, who pushes the boundaries of an archival presence by blending family stories into her historical narratives where she sought to preser ve heritage, land, and leg- acy. Roybal positions Cabeza de Baca’s style as the archetype for Chicana writers of the late twentieth centur y. The conclusion is the central strength of the book, as it weaves together the stories of Ruiz de Burton, González, and Cabeza de Baca, connecting the past and the future, from the archives to new activism. Roybal makes the case that the work of these three women remains unfinished in
