Abstract:
Puerto Rican communities have been a reality in many northeastern urban centers for over a century. Schools and classrooms have felt their presence through the Puerto Rican children attending school. The education of Puerto Ricans in U.S. schools has been documented for about seventy years, but in spite of numerous commissions, research reports, and other studies, this history is largely unknown to teachers and the general public. In addition to the research literature, a growing number of fictional accounts in English are providing another fertile avenue for understanding the challenges that

Abstract:
An examination of the significance of dance performances in the demonstrations of the Puerto Rican summer of 2019, this essay argues that these performances belong to a history of irreverent, extravagant mourning gestures that periodically irrupt in Puerto Rican culture as decolonial practices by dislocating the socially prescribed binding between performance and affect. Using the theories of Saidiya Hartman, José Esteban Muñoz, and Juana María Rodríguez, and connecting to the work of Rocío Zambrana on strategies that address the island’s colonial legacy, the essay explores the mournfully irre

Abstract:
In sharing the original French version as well as Spanish and (first-ever) English translations of “Speech at the Masonic Lodge of Port-au-Prince” (ca. 1870–71), the author argues for the importance of the work of Afro–Puerto Rican activist Ramón Emeterio Betances in the history of Caribbean decolonization. This speech represents a unique inter-Caribbean intervention in the anti-imperial struggle of the time. With the Cuban Ten Years’ War against Spain in the background, Betances, in contrast to his fellow Cuban and Puerto Rican activists, advocates a vision of Caribbean sovereignty that is in

Abstract:
That Puerto Ricans became American citizens in 1917 have been attributed by many to the need for soldiers as the U.S. entered the First World War. Such belief has been enshrined in Puerto Rican popular national mythology. While there is a rich body of literature surrounding the decision to extend U.S. citizenship to Puerto Rico and its effect on the Puerto Ricans, few, if any, challenge the assumption that the need for manpower for the armies of the metropolis influenced that decision. Reducing the issue of citizenship to a need for manpower for the military o nly o b s c ures c o mp lex imp e

While resistance takes a variety of forms in their poetic discourse, this project asserts that these poets have and continue to play an integral role in the cultural decolonization of Puerto Rico, which has been generally unacknowledged in both the critical scholarship on their work and the narrative of Puerto Rico’s anti-colonial struggle.

For Latinos living in the continental United States, migration is an experience that is at once familiar, as a historical phenomenon that shapes our lives, and ephemeral, as a series of momentous events in the lives of individuals, families, and communities that are rarely memorialized. Latino migration has contributed to a redesigned ethnic landscape in the northeastern U.S. although this migration is far less discussed as a contested site of Latino migration than that into the western United States.

Abstract:
Abstract Pura Teresa Belpré, one of the most admired figures of twentieth-century Puerto Rican history, was a storyteller, folklorist, children’s librarian, and advocate for low-income, Spanish-speaking children in New York City. During her lifetime, she traveled widely, performing stories, writing chil- dren’s books, and contributing to the fields of library science and bilin- gual children’s bibliography. Literary critics and historians have only recently recovered Belpré’s body of work. In light of her contributions to children’s literature, writing, researching, and translations of Puerto Rican legends and myths for bilingual audiences, she has been dubbed the island’s folkloric “ambassador” to the United States.

This chapter contextualizes the importance of the educational experiences of Puerto Ricans in Chicago as a way to historicize the overall story of Puerto Ricans in the city. The introduction engages with previous studies on both the history of American education and existing literature on Puerto Ricans in Chicago. A discussion of the colonial relationship between the United States and the island, and how it informed schooling, both formally and informally, sets the stage for a thorough discussion of Puerto Ricans in the diaspora.

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.

Abstract:
Abstract La Perla, Puerto Rico’s most famous “slum,” developed since the early 1900s outside the walls of Old San Juan, the historic Old Town of the Puerto Rican capital. By the mid-twentieth century, La Perla was a symbol of the poverty and deprivation that development and scientifically informed planning attempted to resolve. It became the subject of various improvement plans with varying degrees of inhabitant participation. Comparing building types, ownership structures, and municipal policies throughout La Perla’s history, this chapter questions the validity of the formal-informal distinction that is fundamental in recent literature on “slums,” and engrained in development and modernization ideologies. In terms of architecture, planning, and legal situation, the neighborhood has been characterized by a combination of formal and informal elements. There was both self-help construction and profit-driven development, stable and improvised buildings, unequal power relations, and strong economic ties to the rest of the city.
