Analyzing literature alongside film, memoir, and activism, Ariana E. Vigil highlights the productive interplay among social, political, and cultural movements while exploring Latina/o responses to U.S. intervention in Central America and the Middle East. These responses evolved over the course of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries-from support for anti-imperial war, as seen in Alejandro Murguia's Southern Front, to the disavowal of all war articulated in works such as Demetria Martinez's Mother Tongue and Camilo Mejia's Road from Ar Ramadi. With a focus on how issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality intersect and are impacted by war and militarization, War Echoes illustrates how this country's bellicose foreign policies have played an integral part in shaping U.S. Latina/o culture and identity and given rise to the creation of works that recognize how militarized violence and values, such as patriarchy, hierarchy, and obedience, are both enacted in domestic spheres and propagated abroad. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGender identity in literature 606 $aMilitarism in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHispanic American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGender identity in literature. 615 0$aMilitarism in literature. 676 $a810.9/868073 700 $aVigil$b Ariana E.$f1980-$01040973 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458832103321 996 $aWar echoes$92464209 997 $aUNINA
