In this latest anthology, Rivas-Rodríguez and historian Emilio Zamora team up with scholars from various disciplines to add new insights. Beyond the Latino World War II Hero 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.World War, 1939-1945Participation, Hispanic AmericanWorld War, 1939-1945Personal narratives, AmericanHispanic AmericansSocial conditions20th centuryHispanic American womenSocial conditions20th centuryUnited StatesArmed ForcesHispanic AmericansWorld War, 1939-1945Participation, Hispanic American.World War, 1939-1945Hispanic AmericansSocial conditionsHispanic American womenSocial conditions940.5308968073Rivas-Rodriguez Maggie1473565Zamora Emilio1473566MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780987503321Beyond the Latino World War II hero3686780UNINA
