Forgetting The Alamo, Or, Blood Memory by Emma Pérez
Or, Blood Memory
A revisionist study that interrogates how public memory of the Alamo has been shaped to celebrate Anglo heroism while erasing or marginalizing Mexican-origin people and especially Tejana women; blending archival research, oral histories, and Chicana feminist theory, it recovers suppressed memories of racialized violence and gendered experience, shows how commemorations and historical narratives serve power and exclusion, and calls for a more inclusive, critical reckoning with the region’s past.
