Abstract

"Remembering Conquest: Mexican Americans, Memory, and Citizenship" by Omar Valerio-Jiménez explores how Mexican Americans remember the war between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848. The book delves into the collective memories of Mexican Americans in Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico up to the 1970s, examining their responses to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the consequences of the war. Valerio-Jiménez's work sheds light on the contested history of conquest and citizenship promises, providing a valuable contribution to the field of Chicanx Studies. [Extracted from the article]
