History of Paredes Middle School
Source: http://www.austinschools.org/campus/paredes/history.html
Professor Emeritus Americo Paredes of The University of Texas at Austin, was a noted author and one of the founders of the Center for Mexican American Studies and the Center for Intercultural Studies of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at UT Austin.
With a pen in his hand, Paredes challenged the writings of legendary and contemporary historians and their versions of life along the Texas-Mexico border. His scholarly work about valiant peasants along the Rio Grande borderlands set in motion a revolutionary approach to writing about the way things and people had been in early Texas. In so doing, he helped to shape a positive cultural identity among Mexican-Americans and influenced a whole new generation of Texas scholars.
Paredes was a founder of Mexican American studies, border studies and the post- modern movement in anthropology. To recognize his lifelong contributions to literature and folklore, Paredes was awarded the Charles Frankel Prize from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Orden del Aguila Azteca (Order of the Aztec Eagle), Mexico's highest honor given to scholars from other countries.
In April, 1998, the Austin Independent School District named a new middle school, to be built on Mary Moore-Searight Park Drive, south of Slaughter Lane in his honor. In November 1998 he received a lifetime achievement award at the state Capitol during opening ceremonies for the Texas Book Festival. Professor Paredes died May 5th,1999.
