Beyond the Latino World War II Hero
‘Beyond the Latino World War II Hero: The Social and Political Legacy of a Generation’ which is edited by Maggie Rivas-Rodríguez and Emilio Zamora continues the acknowledgment of Mexican American patriotism as a meaningful force within the Greatest Generation. This latest release focuses on home-front issues and government relations, delving into new arenas of research and incorporating stirring oral histories.
These recollections highlight realities such as post-traumatic stress disorder and its effects on veterans’ families, as well as Mexican American women of this era, whose fighting spirit inspired their daughters to participate in Chicana/o activism of the 1960s and 1970s.
Other topics include the importance of radio as a powerful medium during the war and postwar periods, the participation of Mexican nationals in World War II, and intergovernmental negotiations involving Mexico and Puerto Rico. Addressing the complexity of the Latino war experience, such as the tandem between the frontline and the disruption of the agricultural migrant stream on the home front, the authors and contributors unite diverse perspectives to harness the rich resources of an invaluable oral history.
