Raza sí!, guerra no!

Resumen del Libro

Libro Raza sí!, guerra no!

"A fascinating and beautifully argued interpretation of how the American war in Southeast Asia affected Chicano communities. The author provides the most complete and well-documented study to date of this important chapter in U.S. history and its impact on an ethnic group with long-standing traditions of military service, assimilation, and resistance to injustice. Oropeza's book is what students of the Chicano Movement, especially the Mexican American role in antiwar activities during the Vietnam War period, have been waiting for."—George Mariscal, author of Aztlán and Viet Nam: Chicano and Chicana Experiences of the War "¡Raza Sí! ¡Guerra No! is a superb first book. Maintaining a balance between national context and the activism in the every day, Lorena Oropeza seeks to understand and contextualize antiwar activism among a generation of Mexican American youth. Bolstered with an array of archival sources and oral interviews, she carefully delineates the nature of political organizing among Mexican Americans across the Southwest. To her credit, Oropeza avoids a narrative of solidarity as she interrogates the internal messiness and contradictions of movement politics and the result is a finely nuanced interpretation of Chicano youth rebellion, one rooted firmly in ‘the politics of confrontation.’ I highly recommend it!"—Vicki L. Ruiz, University of California, Irvine "With this important study, Lorena Oropeza grapples with some of the central questions in the history of ethnic Mexicans in the United States. Although the central thrust of the work is an exploration of the evolution, political trajectory, and eventual implosion of the Chicano mobilization against war in Viet Nam, the study is ultimately a meditation on much larger questions involving Mexican American's political and cultural orientations, loyalties, and sense of status and place in American society. In these unsettled times, Oropeza's analysis of the relationship between war, citizenship, and masculinity should also contribute a much-needed reassessment of these important issues in contemporary American and Mexican life."—David G. Gutiérrez, author of Walls and Mirrors: Mexican Americans, Mexican Immigrants, and the Politics of Ethnicity

Guardianas nazis

Libro Guardianas nazis

El nazismo postuló que todos aquellos que no fueran arios no eran humanos y por tanto serían tratados como animales. Si era ético experimentar con perros, gatos y ratones, ¿qué problema habría en hacerlo con judíos, polacos, gitanos u homosexuales? La respuesta la encontramos en los campos de concentración nazis donde cientos de fieles guardianas, con la sangre "limpia" y libres de intoxicaciones, se convirtieron en las torturadoras y asesinas más despiadadas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. No son tan famosas como los Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels o Mengele pero la Historia más siniestra...

Los garcas

Libro Los garcas

“Un garca es una persona que tiene gravemente perturbadas sus relaciones con la alteridad. Un garca establece con los demás, con el otro, una relación de sujeción y explotación y, en cualquier caso, de prejuicio y perjuicio.” La palabra garca, construida en el revés característico del lunfardo, tiene una variedad de significados en el lenguaje popular. Sin embargo, este libro anclará uno, a la vez político y sociológico en la medida en que considera que la palabra pasa a describir una tipología nacional. Dicen los autores con una claridad que el lector agradece que el...
