"From World War I through the 1960s, Houston was transformed into one of the most
ethnically and racially diverse urban areas in the United States. Houston Bound draws
on social and cultural history to show how, despite Anglo attempts to fix racial categories
through Jim Crow laws, converging migrations--particularly those of Mexicans and Creoles--complicated
ideas of blackness and whiteness and introduced different understandings about race.
This migration history also traces the emergence of Houston's blues and jazz scenes
in the 1920s as well as the hybrid forms of these genres--like zydeco and Tejano soul--that
arose when migrants forged shared social space. Houston's location on the Gulf Coast,
poised between the American South and the West, provides for a particularly rich examination
of how the histories of colonization, slavery, and segregation produced divergent
ways of thinking about race"--Provided by publisher
