Author: Joseph Puentes October 1, 2006 Duration: 37:00
Jean A. Stuntz received her PhD in History from the University of North Texas. In 2001 she joined the faculty of West Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University where she teaches Spanish Borderlands, Texas, US Women's, and Mexican American history. Her first book, Hers, His, and Theirs: Community Property Law in Spain and Early Texas (Lubbock: Texas Tech University Press, 2005) looks at the development of married women's property rights in Spain and how those were brought to Texas by the Spanish. This speech was to the groups Los Bexarenos, descendants of the original settlers of San Antonio. Topics include the book, the history of San Antonio, and some of the myths concerning Hispanic contribution to US history.

Hosted by Joseph Puentes, Nuestra Familia Unida: History and Genealogy is a deeply personal project dedicated to uncovering and sharing the interconnected stories of our communities. This podcast moves beyond broad historical narratives to focus on the specific lineages, cultural traditions, and lived experiences of people across Mexico, Latin America, and the entire Western Hemisphere. You’ll hear explorations of identity-from the terms La Raza, Chicano, and Chicana to Hispanic, Latino, Latina, and Indigenous-all within the wider context of Native American peoples. The aim is to build a comprehensive, collective resource, a worldwide repository of history told through the lens of family and heritage. Each episode contributes to this growing tapestry, examining how the past shapes our present identities. By delving into genealogy and historical events often overlooked, the series fosters a profound sense of connection and understanding. It’s an ongoing conversation about where we come from, inviting listeners to reflect on their own place within this vast, shared story. Tuning in means participating in the preservation of a rich and diverse legacy for future generations.
