Most studies of this literature focus on the war's nineteenth-century moment of national expansion. In The Literatures of the U.S.-Mexican War, Jaime Javier Rodríguez brings the discussion forward to our own moment by charting a new path into the legacies of a military conflict embedded in the cultural cores of both nations. Rodríguez's groundbreaking study moves beyond the terms of Manifest Destiny to ask a fundamental question: How do the war's literary expressions shape contemporary tensions and exchanges among Anglo Americans, Mexicans, and Mexican Americans. By probing the war's traumas, anxieties, and consequences with a fresh attention to narrative, Rodríguez shows us the relevance of the U.S.-Mexican War to our own era of demographic and cultural change. Reading across dime novels, frontline battle accounts, Mexican American writings and a wide range of other popular discourse about the war, Rodríguez reveals how historical awareness itself lies at the center of contemporary cultural fears of a Mexican "invasion," and how the displacements caused by the war set key terms for the ways Mexican Americans in subsequent generations would come to understand their own identities. Further, this is also the first major comparative study that analyzes key Mexican war texts and their impact on Mexico's national identity. 606 $aAmerican literature$y1783-1850$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literature 606 $aMexican Americans in literature 606 $aMexican literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMexican War, 1846-1848$xInfluence 606 $aMexican War, 1846-1848$xLiterature and the war 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literature. 615 0$aMexican Americans in literature. 615 0$aMexican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMexican War, 1846-1848$xInfluence. 615 0$aMexican War, 1846-1848$xLiterature and the war. 676 $a810.9/3587362 700 $aRodriguez$b Jaime Javier$01599977 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823796803321 996 $aThe literatures of the U.S.-Mexican War$93922878 997 $aUNINA
