Abstract:
Although the Latino American male population is increasing, the subgroup Latino men’s health remains underinvestigated. This study examined the overall pattern of Latino male health and health care utilization in major subgroups, using a nationally representative sample ( N = 1,127) from the National Latino and Asian American Study. The authors evaluated rates of chronic, behavioral, and mental health service utilization in this first nationally representative survey. The results identified significant cross-subgroup differences in most physical and chronic conditions with Puerto Rican American men having high rates in 8 of 15 physical ailments, including life-altering conditions such as cardiovascular diseases. Despite differences in racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural factors, Cuban American men shared similar rates of heart diseases and cancer with Puerto Rican American men. In addition, Puerto Rican American men had higher rates of substance abuse than other Latinos. For health providers, the authors’ findings encourage awareness of subgroup differences regarding overall health issues of Latino American men to provide culturally appropriate care.

Abstract:
This article is intended to dispel the myth that Latinas and Latinos and other urban high school youths of color are not capable of performing at high academic levels. Much research shows that youths of color are underrepresented and underserved in gifted education programs. The authors describe the four success factors to which 10 working-class Puerto Rican high school students from low-income families attribute their high academic achievement: ( a) religiosity and extracurricular activities as sources of social capital; (b) affirming and maintaining a Puerto Rican identity; (c) maternal influences on students' academic achievement; and (d) the potential of caring teachers and other school staff to influence high academic achievement. Finally, the findings suggest that opportunities for students of color are still inequitably structured in large, comprehensive high schools. Hence, the authors argue that schools must continue to bridge the large gap between themselves and the communities they serve and make use of the funds of knowledge and social capital that their students already bring to school.

Abstract:
This paper pulls from historical accounts of the activities of the Young Lords Organization and draws connections to theories on nationalism, community, and Black Radicalism in the 20th century. Addressing the development, triumphs, and limitations of the Young Lords Organization (also known in New York City as the Young Lords Party) in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the authors examines the assumptions that lead to the rise of the Young Lords, and the political environment that resisted their agenda. As Puerto Ricans living on the mainland, the Young Lords held a unique position as a colonized multiracial people, despite borrowing ideologically from the Black Panthers and contributing as members of the Rainbow Coalition. The author discusses the radical and nationalist social movement discourse the Young Lords engaged with, which was accessible to many disenfranchised groups but uniquely targeted for the Puerto Rican experience. Lastly, the authors explores how the Young Lords implemented community development techniques in order to navigate the political and social climate of the United States in the sixties and seventies, and the conditions that would need to exist today in order for their programs to succeed in our modern world.

Abstract:
Gentrification scholarship often focuses on the vulnerability of long-term residents in general (for example homeowners, renters, and low-income older adults) to displacement, though not necessarily with focal attention to how this process specifically affects low-income minority older adults. Using ethnographic data, the authors prioritise and examine the experiences of aging low-income Puerto Ricans who, by way of senior-designated affordable housing, remain in some of Chicago’s most rapidly gentrifying communities. Interviews, focus groups, and participant observations are supplemented with data from the US Census from 1970 to 2010 in order to document some of the demographic changes that have been taking place in what were once majority Puerto Rican neighbourhoods. We find that while low-income older Latina and Latino residents are able to stay in a gentrifying neighbourhood, surrounded by new amenities, they still find limited spaces where they feel welcomed, resulting in indirect displacement. We argue that considerations of aging in place should not only include affordable housing, but should also include an accessible neighbourhood in terms of mixed-uses that support the wants and needs of low-income and minority older adults.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The purpose of this report is to describe the role of Periodontal Disease (PD) in Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in a Hispanic country. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Literature and Puerto Rican experience was reviewed and will be discussed. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: PD produces inflammatory disease by bacterial infection in the gingiva. This factor PD activates an inflammatory process affecting the CAD cascade inducing myocites, endothelial cells activation and cytokines. The incidence of gingival disease in the Puerto Rican population (P) is around 50%; of this group 80% will develop periodontal disease. Including this factor and diabetes mellitus Type 2, still the incidence of CAD is 20-30% less than the U.S.A. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT : CAD is a systemic disease related to genetic factors and inflammation. PD is related to an inflammatory process, which will activate the CAD process, producing tissue infarcts. The daily use of resolving or liquid Omega 3 in the gingival tissue is useful in the prevention of gingival and periodontal disease.

Abstract:
Higher variety in fruit and vegetable intake has been associated with a lower risk of several chronic diseases. It remains unclear whether such associations exist relating to cognition. The authors examined associations between total quantity and variety in fruit and vegetable intake and cognitive function in a cross-sectional sample of 1412 Puerto Rican adults, aged 45–75 years from the Boston Puerto Rican Health Study, 2004–9. Fruit and vegetable intake was assessed with a FFQ. Cognitive function was measured with a battery of seven tests; the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was administrated to assess global cognitive function. Greater variety, but not total quantity, of fruit and vegetable intake was associated with a higher MMSE score after multivariate adjustment (P for trend = 0·012). This association remained significant after further adjusting for total quantity of fruit and vegetable intake (P for trend = 0·018). High variety of fruit and vegetable intake was also associated with individual cognitive domains, including executive function, memory and attention (all P for trend < 0·05). Variety, more than total quantity, of fruit and vegetable intake may offer cognitive protection in middle-aged and older adults, but longitudinal studies are needed to clarify direction of causality.

Abstract:
RESUMEN: Francisco Matos Paoli y Lolita Lebrón son figuras fundamentales del nacionalismo puertorriqueño, pues, además de sus acciones en favor de la libertad de la isla, escribieron poemas en que expresaron sus creencias patrióticas. Ambos autores coinciden en su fervor hacia el caudillo nacionalista Pedro Albizu Campos. Sin embargo, el análisis comparado de Canto de la locura (1962) de Matos Paoli y Sándalo en la celda (1975) de Lebrón muestra que su adhesión al proyecto albizuista no fue absoluta. Los poemarios sugieren diferencias ideológicas en lo que respecta a la liberación de Puerto Rico, el rol del pueblo en la independencia nacional y la importancia del acervo hispánico. El lenguaje místico de ambos autores sintetiza ambivalentemente el nacionalismo, porque construye a Albizu como una figura cristológica o un amante divino, pero, al mismo tiempo, el énfasis en el encuentro místico individual desliga al sujeto poético del proyecto nacionalista albizuista. Abstract: Francisco Matos Paoli and Lolita Lebrón are fundamental figures of Puerto Rican nationalism, for, in addition to their actions in favor of the island’s freedom, they wrote poems in which they expressed their patriotic beliefs. Both authors coincide in their fervor towards the nationalist leader Pedro Albizu Campos. However, a comparative analysis of Matos Paoli’s Canto de la locura (1962) and Lebrón’s Sándalo en la celda (1975) shows that their adherence to Albizu’s project was not absolute. The books of poems suggest ideological differences regarding the liberation of Puerto Rico, the role of the people in national independence, and the importance of the Hispanic heritage. The mystical language of both authors ambivalently synthesizes nationalism because it constructs Albizu as a Christological figure or a divine lover, but at the same time, the emphasis on the individual mystical encounter distances the poetic speakers from Albizu’s nationalist project.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation examines literary strategies for the representation of gender and its intersections with class and race in selected writings by four Puerto Rican authors, namely, Alejandro Tapia, Salvador Brau, Manuel Zeno Gandia, and Ana Roque. It focuses on the period between the 1870s and 1890s—before the 1898 United States military occupation— because of the crucial socio-political and economic changes that marked the threshold of a distinct Hispanic Creole literary tradition. I propose an interdisciplinary approach that combines social history, cultural studies, social feminism, and literary theory to provide historical depth and enable contextualization of the material conditions in which late nineteenth-century writings were produced. Moreover, there is a lack of literary analyses that examine and compare the narratives of both men and women writers from the late nineteenth century against the backdrop of the island's social history. This research pays attention to the interplay among different kinds of writings at this particular moment in the history of Puerto Rico where a specific discursive formation took shape. Through close readings I demonstrate how these four authors employed literary strategies to represent their respective political and sexual agendas. Liberal men wrote proposals for the moral reform of women of all classes as they believed it was the best way to control reproduction, adultery, concubinage and interracial sex, thus guaranteeing the "whitening" of society and of the labour force. The discourses about moral reforms for women show the gender ideologies prevalent at the time that were inscribed in the national narratives. Tapia's cosmopolitanism and supernatural topics represent the fragmented identity of the colonized subject striving for representation in Spain, and the gender crisis of the late nineteenth century. Brau and Zeno Gandia portray the peasantry as a sick body that represents the social stagnation in which the colony was mired. Roque's fiction proclaims her political ideas regarding the role of women in the cultural nation and attacks extramarital affairs, interracial relations, and women's financial vulnerability. The analysis of gender representation and its interrelations with colonialism, patriarchy, class, and race offers innovative perspectives to interpret the past, and to better understand the dynamics of gender power relations that persist to the present day.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractIn Fabienne Kanor’s Humus and Yolanda Arroyo Pizarro’s las Negras, the slave ship constitutes a landmark that combines space and time: a chronotope, as Paul Gilroy articulates in The Black Atlantic. A liminal site both catalyst and witness to the collision between distinct worlds, the slave ship represents in the Afrodiasporic imaginary a new point of origin marked by colonial attempts of ontological and epistemic annihilation. Nevertheless, this motif holds the promise of renewal through a reconfiguration of spacetime that forges unforeseen alliances and fuels sociopolitical struggle. Furthermore, Arroyo Pizarro’s and Kanor’s accounts excavate the acts of resistance by Africans and Caribbean people, especially women, systematically expunged from official records. Turning instead to immaterial elements stored in the explicitly sexed body, a dynamic corporeal archive that unsettles the authority of the annals upholding dominant chronicles, these narratives amount to epistemic marronnage. The Martiniquan and Puerto Rican authors fulfil their devoir de mémoire (or obligation to remember) by elaborating a tangible (though fictional) alternative archive that withstands erasure.

Abstract:
This chapter provides a window into Puerto Rican children’s literature that has served as means to resist colonial discourses and invisibility throughout the years. The creation of textbooks in Spanish by Puerto Rican educators and politicians challenged a strong narrative of assimilation that emerged as a result of the 1898 US military invasion (Kerkhof 261); additionally, picture books likeLa gran Victoria by Verónica De la Cruz, inspired by the manifestations of Summer 2019 that led to the impeachment of governor Ricky Roselló, resist US hegemony. The chapter highlights stories produced on the archipelago, as well as initiatives that encourage production, access, documentation, research, and integration of Puerto Rican literature across contexts. Further consideration is given to authors, illustrators, scholars, publishers, and readers from the diaspora who continue to expand what it means to be Puerto Rican from their complex, experiential, and critical approaches.

Abstract:
This overview highlights the contributions of multiple disciplines (including history, literary criticism, anthropology, musicology, and psychology) that traverse and intersect with one another in the larger discussion of the fields as they relate to Cuba and Puerto Rico. The discussion showcases the breath and diversity of recent scholarship, conceptual approaches, and academic debates in Cuban and Cuban American studies and their relation to Puerto Rican studies in juxtaposition to one another. The topics under discussion range from anthropological perspectives and the natural history of Cuba and Puerto Rico before and during the Cold War, to cultural identities and sociological/demographic studies of Cuban Americans and Puerto Ricans in the United States. Literary criticism on the works of Cuban American and Puerto Rican authors, as well as political coalitions, the formation of sororities, environmental issues, and the impact of the Mariel boatlift on the music scene in New York City encourage a more nuanced and multifaceted study of the relationships between the two archipelagos and the dynamics that develop in diaspora. The introduction emphasizes how this collection proposes an important comparative, critical discussion of varied topics in one volume hitherto absent in the extant scholarship. In many ways, revisiting the historical relevance of Lola Rodríguez de Tió’s poem, that gives way to the collection’s title, demonstrates how both Puerto Rico and Cuba remain an essential concern of archipelagic studies and diaspora studies and still require incisive critical analyses, even beyond the scope of this project. This collection of essays is an important step in that direction.

Full text
Abstract:
Maida Watson examines how recent Puerto Rican and Cuban playwrights have represented psychological and physical space in their works. Building on Bertolt Brecht’s theory of the epic theater, Antonin Artaud’s theater of cruelty, and the theater of the absurd, several Cuban and Puerto Rican authors during the second half of the twentieth century rejected the dominance of realistic theater and staged plays where psychological space played an important role. In the three plays studied by Watson (René Marqués’s Los soles truncos, José Triana’s La noche de lo asesinos, and Rolando Ferrer’s Lila, la mariposa), the contrast between psychological space and physical space serves not only to portray the individual tragedies of the characters, but also to criticize their ideological and political circumstances. The different theatrical techniques used to create the counterpoint between psychological and physical space in these plays thus fulfill both artistic and political purposes.

Abstract:
This chapter outlines the important history and role of craftsmen based in New York City who produced and repaired traditional instruments used in the performance of Latin music. It introduces individuals who came from Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican, and Jewish communities, and examines how their instruments physically represented the actual sound of Latin Music to New York and the world on widely disseminated recordings. Many of these instrument makers also sold their instruments beyond New York City and the United States. The chapter also discusses the work of builders and musicians in New York City to create and modify the tools used to forge the sound of Latin music and diffuse both the instruments and their aesthetic throughout the world. Ultimately, the chapter seeks to unify into one coherent narrative, the efforts of folklorists, journalists, and authors who paid attention to the origins of hand percussion instruments in New York, their subsequent mass production, and the people who built the instruments used to play Latin music in New York City.

Full text
Abstract:
In the January article of The Guardian News ‘How Hurricane Maria forced Puerto Ricans to change their hair’, author Norbert Figueroa reflects on the devastating effects of the category four storm in the US territory. Besides the aftermath caused by floodwaters, massive electric shortage, and structural damages, Figueroa revealed how Hurricane Maria forced adaptations to everyday life, including the way Puerto Ricans styled their hair. Extreme conditions of heat and humidity, exacerbated by the lack of electric power, lead to the acceptance of natural hairdos, to the creation of sidewalk barber shops, and to the formalization of an underground economy where haircuts in the form of currency, were exchanged for power generators. Figueroa’s simple but complex observation is critical in the revelation of creative self-organizing assemblages at the face of concealed realities. If the simple act of hair restructuring convokes taxonomical categorizations, ingenious adaptabilities, spatial re-conceptualizations, and the creation of new underground economies, why isn’t architecture transcending its heteronomous condition to achieve ‘resilient’ solutions? If resilience is defined as ‘the ability of objects to spring back into shape’ after being deformed,’ does it exclude the notion of ‘predictability’? This paper does not bring to the fore the discursivity that the resilient discourse entails, but it is an attempt to question its interpretations and trivial meanings within a ‘utopian’ model that fails to come to terms with the constitution of the physical realm.
