Proving Patriotismo

Latino Military Recruitment, Service, and Belonging in the US

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Proving Patriotismo moves beyond anecdotal discussions of the Latino military experience. The authors use empirical evidence to demonstrate how the intersection of poverty, patriotism and ethnicity create an environment where the U.S. military can increase their ranks through the service of Latinos eager for a better life and American belonging.
