Each chapter is written by professors who are specialists in their field and who have extensive knowledge on the politics of the Rio Grande Valley. From a social, historical and political perspective, Politics of the Rio Grande Valley allows the reader to understand how the Rio Grande Valley is a unique region which continues to evolve and which plays an important role in Texas and American Politics.

It fills a significant gap in the literature and offers original perspectives on the ever-evolving dynamics of border politics, while the inclusion of new datasets from local university students adds fresh, invaluable insights. The volume delves into the intricate political landscape of the RGV and provides a nuanced analysis of the region's complexities, making it essential for anyone seeking to understand the future of borderlands communities and the pivotal role of the RGV in this narrative.
