War Echoes: Gender And Militarization In U.S. Latina/O Cultural Production

War Echoes specifically argues for the place of warfare in the development and articulation of transnational identities; the book demonstrates how U.S. Latina/o opposition to U.S. military intervention catalyzed new kinds of social, cultural and political representations and expressions. In foregrounding the role of militarism, the project contributes a much needed perspective to an understanding of the shape and trajectory of U.S. Latina/o art and activism. The project illustrates how political commitments - and specifically movements opposed to military intervention - played a significant role in the development of U.S. Latina/o cultural production and the articulation of U.S. Latina/o identity. Finally, War Echoes illustrates and argues for the importance of issues of race, class, gender and sexuality as they intersect with and are impacted by war and militarization-- Provided by publisher.
