A native of Robstown, Texas, Professor Arnoldo De León received his undergraduate education at Angelo State University. Upon graduation in 1970 with a B.A. in history, he went on to Texas Christian University, where he received his M.A. (1971) and his Ph.D. (1974) in history.
Since then, Professor De León has published widely in the field of Mexican American history, though he specializes in the history of Texas Mexicans. His major works include The Tejano Community, 1836 -1900 (1982; reprinted 1997 by Southern Methodist University Press); They Called Them Greasers: Anglo Attitude Toward Mexicans in Texas, 1821 1900 (1983); Ethnicity in the Sunbelts: A History of Mexican American in Houston, Texas (1989; new edition by Texas A&M University Press, 2001); Tejano Epic: Essays in Honor of Félix D. Almaráz, Jr. (Austin: Texas State Historical Association, 2005); and with Richard Griswold del Castillo, North to Aztlán: A History of Mexican Americans in the United States (1996; Harlan Davidson, Inc., 2006). The History of Texas, which he coauthored with Robert A. Calvert in 1990 (Fourth Edition with Robert A. Calvert and Gregg Cantrell, 2007) is used in many Texas Colleges and Universities.
Professor De León teaches in the Department of History at Angelo State University, where he has been since 1973, and holds the C.J. “Red” Davidson Professorship in history.
