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

By Manuel G. Avilés-Santiago

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.
