BOOK DISCOVERY
Battle of the Brazos
First published 2018
Battle of the Brazos connects Baylor University, college athletics, riots in Texas, and the state’s history, according to its supplied subjects. T. G. Webb is credited as the author, and the work was first published in 2018. The title places a conflict at the intersection of higher education, sport, and regional public life. Without adding details beyond the metadata, the book can be approached as an opportunity to examine how athletic rivalries acquire institutional and civic significance, how disorder is interpreted, and how historical narratives organize responsibility and consequence.
