One of the themes in the trilogy of plays centers on military service. The story of Latin@ servicemen and women, and Puerto Rican service in particular is rich, fraught and complex, intersecting with the charged themes of belonging; class and race; citizenship; family and generational place; and national, cultural, racial and ethnic identity from World War I to conflicts of the present day.
Here, we invite you to begin to explore these larger contexts wending through the three plays in the Elliot trilogy, perhaps more explicit in some of the plays than others, but persistent nonetheless.
The University of Texas at Austin's VOCES Oral History Project gives "voice to the American Latino experience." The project's website includes photo documentaries, recorded stories and transcripts of interviews with service men and women, and veterans.
Veterans Services in Philadelphia include: Support Homeless Veterans, Veterans Multi-Service Center, The Veterans Group, The Fresh Start Casa Latino Program, and Project Home, among others.
