Customer Reviews

Great scholarly text

This was a great read but mostly from an Anglo perspective. Should be read with supporting literature.

Comprehensive and Enjoyable

Reaching back centuries and moving forward to the present day, Bryant's text details the development of the Southwestern cultural scene in an immensely readable fashion. The enormous impact of women, both as contributors and as patrons, in the building of and continued growth of the arts throughout Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arizona and California, receives particular attention. An informative and highly enjoyable book!
