Experience History with C-Span Book TV


An associate professor at Texas Christian University’s Bob Schieffer College of Communication School of Journalism, Dr. Melita Marie Garza authored the book They Came to Toil: Newspaper Representations of Mexicans and Immigrants in the Great Depression. Dr. Melita M. Garza has spoken about her book with interviewers from various media channels, including C-Span Book TV.

A private nonprofit company, C-Span exists to bring political affairs and public events to American citizens in the comfort of their own homes. Through C-Span Book TV, the company also features discussions on important non-fiction books, particularly in the field of American history.

Some recent works featured on Book TV include Young Washington, in which Peter Stark details the beginnings of George Washington's life through his military career, and Dear America, written by Jose Antonio Vargas, who shares his experience of immigrating to the U.S. as an undocumented worker. Other highlighted books have featured insights into areas ranging from conservatism under President Donald Trump to the war in Yemen.
