Puerto Rican Soldiers and Second-Class Citizenship: Representations in Media - Paperback

by M. Avilés-Santiago (Author)

Puerto Rican soldiers have been consistently whitewashed out of the narrative of American history despite playing parts in all American wars since WWI. This book examines the online self-representation of Puerto Rican soldiers who served during the War on Terror, focusing on social networking sites, user-generated content, and web memorials.
