The book "Day of the Dead in the USA: The Migration and Transformation of a Cultural Phenomenon" by Dr. Lisa A. Cordero provides a comprehensive overview of the history and evolution of the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) celebrations in the United States. The book explores how this cultural phenomenon has migrated from its origins in Mexico and Central America to the United States, and how it has transformed over time to reflect the diverse experiences and perspectives of Latinx communities across the country. Through a detailed examination of historical and contemporary sources, including art, literature, music, and film, the author reveals how the Day of the Dead has become a powerful symbol of resilience, resistance, and hope for marginalized communities in the United States. The book also highlights the challenges faced by these communities as they navigate the complexities of cultural appropriation, racism, and xenophobia in their efforts to preserve and celebrate their traditions. One of the key themes of the book is the need to study and understand the process of technological evolution in order to survive in a rapidly changing world. The author argues that the development of modern knowledge and technology is not just about innovation and progress, but also about the survival of humanity and the unity of people in a warring state.
