This book was released on 2018-11-01. Lone Star Mind available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. There is the story the Lone Star State likes to tell about itself—and then there is the reality, a Texas past that bears little resemblance to the manly Anglo myth of Texas exceptionalism that maintains a firm grip on the state’s historical imagination. Lone Star Mind takes aim at this traditional narrative, holding both academic and lay historians accountable for the ways in which they craft the state’s story. A clear-sighted, far-reaching work of intellectual history, this book marshals a wide array of pertinent scholarship, analysis, and original ideas to point the way toward a new “usable past” that twenty-first-century Texans will find relevant. Ty Cashion fixes T. R. Fehrenbach’s Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans in his crosshairs in particular, laying bare the conceptual deficiencies of the romantic and mythic narrative the book has served to codify since its first publication in 1968. At the same time, Cashion explores the reasons why the collective efforts of university-trained scholars have failed to diminish the appeal of the state’s iconic popular culture, despite the fuller and more accurate record these historians have produced. Framing the search for a collective Texan identity in the context of a post-Christian age and the end of Anglo-male hegemony, Lone Star Mind illuminates the many historiographical issues besetting the study of American history that will resonate with scholars in other fields as well. Cashion proposes that a cultural history approach focusing on the self-interests of all Texans is capable of telling a more complete story—a story that captures present-day realities.

Download and read online ebook The Lone Star State of Mind write by Paul L. Snelson II. This book was released on 2014-07-31. The Lone Star State of Mind available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Lone Star State of Mind is a creative journey. It documents a personal mythological passage through time and space geographically, metaphorically and autobiographically. The book begins with a poem written in 1984 then jumps forward to 2006 and moves chronologically and sometimes in a non-linear fashion between a span of over twenty years. Journal entries, poetry, stories and essays illustrate an artistic vision focused on cultivating positive thinking skills as inspiration for both the reader and the writer. It filters experience through selectively editing a diary of documentation and poetic interpretation. Each ephemeral moment is captured in a few words that reflect a singular point of view; real life is alchemically transformed through a diamond prism of multifaceted metaphors that resonate as poetry and then return to the daily realistic account of the artist's actual life from the ordinary to the magical and back again.
