Boria-Rivera Policing the Maternal: Puerto Rican and Cuban American Literature and the Legacy of the Cold War 2010 .txt text/plain 361 6 0 By historicizing images of maternity in Latina literature in the context of twentieth century immigration as a Cold War phenomenon, this project also seeks to intervene in important debates by Cold War historians about the influence of the Cold War on constructions of domesticity and femininity in the US. Building on recent discussions of the Cold War's profound influence on white women's bodies, my dissertation considers the lost narratives of maternal interventionÌ¢ âÂ' particularly with regards to the sterilization campaign (1937-1965) in Puerto Rico in which over one third of the island's women were sterilized and the Peter Pan program (1960-1962) in Cuba wherein over 14,000 Cuban children were relocated to US orphanages. cache/6m311n81g58.txt txt/6m311n81g58.txt
