The Journal of South Texas


A biannual publication housed at Texas A&M University in Kingsville, The Journal of South Texas is a scholarly, double-blind reviewed academic journal devoted to the history and heritage of greater Texas. Though seeking scholarship on all aspects of Texas history, we, as the preeminent journal of Texas’s cultural history, especially strive to publish new work on topics such as women’s history, ethnic history, Texas/borderlands, African American history, the Mexican-American Diaspora, and other foci illuminating the multi-cultural elements of the state’s past and broad geographical influence.

Editor: Dr. Veronica Duran
