Poyo.The first book-length study of Latina/o experiences in World War II over a wide spectrum of identities and ancestries—from Cuban American, Spanish American, and Mexican American segments to the under-studied Afro-Latino experience—Latina/os and World War II probes the controversial aspects of Latina/o soldiering and citizenship in the war, the repercussions of which defined the West during the twentieth century. The editors also offer a revised, more accurate tabulation of the number of Latina/os who served in the war. Spanning imaginative productions, such as vaudeville and the masculinity of the soldado razo theatrical performances; military segregation and the postwar lives of veterans; Tejanas on the homefront; journalism and youth activism; and other underreported aspects of the wartime experience, the essays collected in this volume showcase rarely seen recollections. Whether living in Florida in a transformed community or deployed far from home (including Mexican Americans who were forced to endure the Bataan Death March), the men and women depicted in this collection yield a multidisciplinary, metacritical inquiry. The result is a study that challenges celebratory accounts and deepens the level of scholarly inquiry into the realm of ideological mobility for a unique cultural crossroads. Taking this complex history beyond the realm of war narratives, Latina/os and World War II situates these chapters within the broader themes of identity and social change that continue to reverberate in postcolonial lives.Latinas and World War IILatinos and World War IIWorld War, 1939-1945Participation, Hispanic AmericanWorld War, 1939-1945Social aspectsUnited StatesHispanic American soldiersHistory20th centuryHispanic AmericansSocial conditions20th centuryUnited StatesArmed ForcesHispanic AmericansHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1939-1945Participation, Hispanic American.World War, 1939-1945Social aspectsHispanic American soldiersHistoryHispanic AmericansSocial conditions940.54/0468Rivas-Rodriguez MaggieOlguín B.
