Puerto Rican soldiers have been consistently whitewashed out of the grander narrative of American history, despite playing parts in all American wars since World War I. This book examines the online self-representation of Puerto Rican soldiers who served during the War on Terror. Focusing on social networking sites including Facebook and MySpace, user-generated content such as videos on YouTube, and web memorials for deceased soldiers, Avilés-Santiago looks at how text, photographs, and video articulate a digital image of the soldiers. He explores how they portray their racial and colonial selves in the face of the continental United States' media indifference.
