  1. Deportes : the making of a sporting Mexican diaspora

    Alamillo, José M., 1969-
    New Brunswick : Rutgers University Press, [2020]

    "Spanning the first half of the twentieth century, Deportes uncovers the hidden experiences of Mexican male and female athletes, teams and leagues and their supporters who fought for a more level playing field on both sides of the border. Despite a widespread belief that Mexicans shunned physical exercise, teamwork or "good sportsmanship, " they proved that they could compete in a wide variety of sports at amateur, semiprofessional, Olympic and professional levels. Some even made their mark in the sports world by becoming the "first" Mexican athlete to reach the big leagues and win Olympic medals or world boxing and tennis titles. These sporting achievements were not theirs alone, an entire cadre of supporters-families, friends, coaches, managers, promoters, sportswriters, and fans-rallied around them and celebrated their athletic success. The Mexican nation and community, at home or abroad, elevated Mexican athletes to sports hero status with a deep sense of cultural and national pride. Alamillo argues that Mexican-origin males and females in the United States used sports to empower themselves and their community by developing and sustaining transnational networks with Mexico. Ultimately, these athletes and their supporters created a "sporting Mexican diaspora" that overcame economic barriers, challenged racial and gender assumptions, forged sporting networks across borders, developed new hybrid identities and raised awareness about civil rights within and beyond the sporting world"--

  2. Déportés : leur ultime transmission

    Sicard Bouvatier, Karine
    [Paris] : Éditions de La Martinière, [2021]

    ""Lorsque j'ai compris qu'on entrait par la porte et qu'on sortait par la cheminée, je me suis dit que je ne pouvais pas mourir. J'avais 15 ans. J'avais ton âge...", ainsi parle Esther quand elle livre à Jeanne le récit de sa déportation à Auschwitz en 1943. Auteure et photographe, Karine Sicard Bouvatier a organisé de 2018 à 2020 des rencontres entre les derniers témoins de la Shoah et des jeunes du même âge que le leur à l'époque de leur déportation. Consciente que la transmission de la mémoire des rescapés des camps de la mort s'impose aujourd'hui plus que jamais, elle a fixé dans cet ouvrage leurs échanges bouleversants. Élie et Jean, Julia et Valentine, Benjamin et Gabriel, Judith et Théa, Georges et Hippolyte, Sarah et Sarah... et bien d'autres encore forment des duos intergénérationnels destinés à perpétuer et maintenir la mémoire vivante. Vingt-cinq rescapés, déportés enfants ou adolescents parce que juifs ou résistants, racontent leur jeunesse bouleversée et confient à leur interlocuteur leur précieuse parole - leur ultime transmission."--Page 4 of cover.
