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 Puerto Ricans have faced, and continue to face, in U.S. schools. In this article, Sonia Nieto combines the research on Puerto Rican students in U.S. schools with the power of the growing body of fiction written by Puerto Ricans. In this weaving of "fact" with "fiction," Nieto hopes to provide a more comprehensive and more human portrait of Puerto Rican students. Based on her reading of the literature in both educational research and fiction, Nieto suggests four interrelated and contrasting themes that have emerged from the long history of stories told about Puerto Ricans in U.S. schools: colonialism/resistance, cultural deficit/cultural acceptance, assimilation/identity, and marginalization/belonging. Nieto's analysis of these four themes then leads her to a discussion of the issue of care as the missing ingredient in the education of Puerto Ricans in the United States.

Abstract:
In November of 1969, 2,700 members of Newark’s African American and Puerto Rican community assembled at the Black and Puerto Rican Political Convention to mobilize and strategize a plan to gain socio-political power. Unified through their discrimination in housing, employment, and police brutality, Newark’s communities of color resolved that the election of the city’s first Black mayor would provide a solution to many of their problems. Accordingly, the election of Kenneth Gibson validated the communities’ unified efforts and symbolized one of the most successful multiracial coalitions in Newark’s history. Although a monumental milestone, not all Newarkers remembered the convention as a symbol of hope and unity amongst Newark’s marginalized. For many Puerto Ricans, Gibson’s victory was the impetus for a major rift between Puerto Ricans and African Americans. While the history of the Black and Puerto Rican coalition is quite rich, it is largely unexamined within dominant narratives about the 1967 Newark Rebellion. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to excavate the details of the Black and Puerto Rican coalition in order to weave together a more complete, multiracial narrative about the Newark Rebellion that both includes and necessitates the legacy of Puerto Ricans within the long history of Newark community activism.

Abstract:
Using the theory of silencing developed by Haitian anthropologist Michel-Rolph Trouillot this essay analyses the British attack to the island of Puerto Rico in 1797. It argues that Puerto Rican historiography neglected and silenced the pivotal role of Black Puerto Ricans in this historical event. This historical reflection also proposes a new way to revise the hegemonic historical discourse, which contributes in the marginalization of Black Puerto Ricans from the construction of the island‟s national identity.

Abstract:
One of the first and largest migrations of Latin Americans to the United States occurred from Puerto Rico to New York City in the 1950s. At its height in 1953, the Great Puerto Rican Migration saw some seventy-five thousand Puerto Ricans settled in the great metropolis, and by 1960 there were over half a million New Yorkers of Puerto Rican ancestry in the city. The exodus transformed the capital of the world and taxed its social fabric and institutions. Joseph P. Fitzpatrick, S.J. (1913–95), a Harvard-trained sociologist teaching at Fordham University in the Bronx, played a key role in helping both New York City, its people and social institutions, respond with compassion and creativity to this upheaval. This article chronicles Fitzpatrick’s involvement with the Puerto Ricans for over three decades as priest, public intellectual, and advocate on behalf of the newcomers, and social researcher.

Abstract:
In this essay, I examine language use among Puerto Ricans in the U.S., and evaluate evidence that suggests that they are shifting to English more quickly than other Latino groups. This accelerated adoption of English might seem to be a positive trend to proponents of English-only or to those who fetishize assimilation as the route to success in the U.S.; however, the fact that it is very often accompanied by a loss of Spanish is troubling to those who value multiculturalism and bilingualism. The idea that Puerto Ricans are the group that takes the lead in the loss of bilingualism among Latinos is a source of debate for observers of the sociolinguistic reality of Latinos in the U.S.With a particular focus on the Puerto Rican community in Chicago, I first discuss language loss among Latino populations in the U.S. Then, I offer a brief overview of Puerto Rican immigration history, and of Latino presence in Chicago. Lastly, I address the allegedly exceptionally rapid shift of Puerto Ricans to English, and discuss possible reasons for this phenomenon. I conclude that even though there are sites where this assertion seems to be true, we need more evidence that captures actual language use patterns across a range of contexts before we can arrive at a definitive characterization of Puerto Rican speech practices.

Abstract:
In the wake of Hurricane María, Puerto Ricans in the tropical archipelago and the diaspora engaged in various forms of community organizing to confront governmental and social abandonment. Building on long-term ethnographic research and poetic analysis focused on the work of Puerto Rican poet Ana Portnoy Brimmer, I analyze poets’ critical and creative material practices that confronted histories of colonialism and engaged in forms of survivance post María (Vizenor, 2008). I argue that survivance is poiesis – a creative engagement in and with the world. Through writing and performing poems, Puerto Ricans contested state narratives about the effects of the hurricane, documented their material and diasporic suffering, and made their lives more livable through accessing necessities, such as food and water, building and reconnecting with community, and bearing witness to each other’s lived experiences. Puerto Rican life and experiences are always entangled with their environment and material world. Thus, for Puerto Ricans, survivance as poiesis is a continuous affirmation of life in the face of ongoing disasters and death through material poetic practices.

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 erial-colonial relations based upon racial structures of power. In this essay I hope to demonstrate that the need for soldiers was unrelated to the granting of citizenship in 1917. As the U.S. prepared for war, domestic politics and geopolitics were mostly responsible for accelerating the passing of the Jones Act.

Working as principal investigator and head of the translation team for El proyecto de la literatura puertorriqueña / the Puerto Rican Literature Project (PRLP)—a free, bilingual, user-friendly, and open access digital portal that anyone can use to learn about and teach Puerto Rican poetry—has provided the author with insight about the colonial conditions that structure translation as word-making practice, survival strategy, and decolonial methodology. In collaborating with Puerto Rican writers, translators, investigators, and scholars and sustaining a dialogue with a long history of personal and collective archival work, the author has at times found, in collaboration with literary peers, that Puerto Ricans often act as self-translators, archivists, and historians, while navigating the conditional visibility and general invisibilization of their modes of speech, their literatures, and their lives.

Abstract:
Abstract From the era of enslavement to contemporary structures of debt, governing entities and capital have denied state support to Puerto Ricans, demanding instead that payments flow from the archipelago first to Spain and then to the United States. While the US welfare state is notoriously stingy, even its limited benefits have never gone to Puerto Ricans on an equal basis to residents of the states. How, then, have Puerto Ricans been perennially accused of receiving too much welfare? This article argues that Puerto Rico marks the vanishing point of the coherence of the discourse of the “welfare queen” and reveals its underlying logic: it marks Black and impoverished people’s resistance, and the refusal to birth babies and raise children who are docile participants in the kind of labor force sought by capital. The “welfare queen,” generalized to the archipelago as a whole, marks rebellion and fugitivity.

Full text
Abstract:
Rosario Ferré’s 1986 novella Maldito amor takes its name from a famous Puerto Rican danza written toward the end of the 19th century by composer Juan Morel Campos, who had both African and Spanish heritage. This article explores the tradition of the danza, the significance of Ferré’s use and mirroring of Morel Campos’s danza in the narrative, as well as the signifying process she explores and manipulates in an effort to question official versions of Puerto Rican history. By using the composer’s danza as a subtext for the structure and themes of the novel, Maldito amor creates another set of signifiers for how we consider this traditional piece of music. The title of the novel also demonstrates the ambivalent attitudes that Puerto Ricans often have toward the ruling elite on the island itself: the bourgeoisie function as both hegemonic power but are also oppressed under that of the United States. By re-writing history via the “Maldito amor” danza, the novella recognizes the constant chain of signifiers that constitutes reality, and adds a new and subversive one to include in the chain of discourse surrounding Puerto Rican history and identity.

This dissertation focuses on lay Catholic ministry to Puerto Ricans in Philadelphia when Frank Rizzo was mayor. Gramsci’s concept of “organic intellectuals” is employed to explain the praxis of the Philadelphia Young Lords, an organization formed in a Puerto Rican neighborhood during the confrontational politics of the 1970s. The dissertation advances previous scholarship on the Young Lords by offering reasons to consider these youthful leaders as lay Catholic advocates of social justice in Philadelphia and describes the role of faith convictions as they pursued social justice in the style of the biblical prophetic burden. Through interviews and textual analysis, the dissertation traces the evolution of lay volunteerism before the Second Vatican Council as foundational to the Young Lords’ application of liberation theology. The Young Lords in Philadelphia also followed the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party’s definition of the people’s multiracial identity and the Nationalists’ defense of Catholic principles. Their experiences are inserted into the general history of Philadelphia, a city which Quakers had founded as a cluster of urban villages, producing a distinctive pattern of ethnic enclaves of Philadelphia’s row house neighborhoods. The city’s Catholicism had structured parish life upon the civic culture, and initially extended this model to its Puerto Rican ministry. However, racial polarization at a time of municipal crisis under Rizzo invited new pastoral strategies towards civil right and the Vietnam War. Despite the Young Lords’ reliance on Marxist principles and the confrontational politics of the Black Panthers, local Catholic clergy supported many of their efforts. The dissertation explores the symbolic capital gained by the Young Lords which made them into a vanguard organization in the city’s fields of political and pastoral interaction.

Abstract:
The Orlando Metropolitan Statistical Area became the fastest growing Puerto Rican population since 1980. While the literature has grown regarding Orlando's Puerto Rican community, no works deeply analyze the push and pull factors that led to the mass migration of Puerto Ricans to Central Florida. In fact, it was the combination of deteriorating economies in both Puerto Rico and New York City (the two largest concentrations of Puerto Ricans in the United States) and the rise of employment opportunities and cheap cost of living in Central Florida that attract Puerto Ricans from the island the diaspora to the region. Furthermore, Puerto Ricans who migrated to the region established a support network that further facilitated future migration and created a Puerto Rican community in the region. This study uses the combination of primary sources including government document (e.g. U.S. Censuses, Orange County land deeds, etc.), local and nation newspapers, and oral histories from Puerto Ricans living in Central Florida since the early 1980s to explain the process in which Puerto Ricans formed their identity in Orlando since 1980. The result is a history of the Puerto Rican migration to Central Florida and the roots of Orlando's Puerto Rican community.

Abstract:
Puerto Rican people and culture are the result of the often violent contact between the colonizing forces of Spain, the African people they later enslaved and the indigenous population of the island. Over time, the blending of these three diverse peoples, each with their own unique culture and traditions, resulted in a new population currently known as Puerto Rican. Little information is available, however, regarding Taino culture and society prior to European contact, and even less is known about their ongoing contributions to Puerto Rican culture. This thesis brings together accurate information about the indigenous people of Boriquen. It attempts to correct distortions and untruths about Taino culture, providing alternative interpretations and giving recognition to the Taino legacy which remains a part of Puerto Rican culture today.

Abstract:
The focus of my study is on two history textbooks intended for the 7th grade, one retired from the Puerto RicanDepartment of Education (PRDE) in 2002, titled “Puerto Rico: Tierra Adentro, Mar Afuera” (Picó & Rivera, 1991) and the textbook that replaced it, “Historia y Geografía de Puerto Rico 7” (Cardona, Mafuz, Rodríguez, et al. 2002), currently in use within of the PRDE. Using critical pedagogy as my theoretical lenses, I analyzed how the Puerto Rico-United States historical relationship is conceptualized within these two history textbooks, released under the administration of two different political parties. The historical events chosen for analysis match the beginning of the Puerto Rican-United States’ political relations until its current state of affairs. These events are: the United States’ invasion to Puerto Rico in 1898; the Foraker Act of 1900; the Jones Act of 1917; and the Organic Law 600 (or “Estado Libre Asociado”) in 1952, which defines today’s political relations between the two countries. I refer to the work of three historians (Alegría et al, 1988; Silvestrini & Luque de Sánchez, 1988; and Scarano, 2000) as a mirror to explore how the events are conceptualized within the analyzed textbooks and how these are conceived and written by historians. I analyzed the selected textbooks utilizing the Norman Fairclough’s (1989, 2003) approach to critical discourse analysis. Critical discourse analysis (CDA) is the study of written and spoken texts to reveal the discursive sources of power, dominance, inequality and bias. I compared how the selected historical events are described within the work of Puerto Rican historians, versus how these are conceptualized within the textbooks selected for analysis. During the process I examined the wording used, events included, events omitted, and the nature and extent of details provided for each, among other linguistic features. The analysis suggest that the conceptualization of the Hispanic-American War and the 54 years after US invasion to Puerto Rico correlates to the political agenda of the political parties in power at the moment of the production of each history textbook. Moreover, I aimed to explore how the conceptualization of the PR-US relations might participate in the self- destructive discourses among the Puerto Rican population, as identified by other researchers on the field of psychology and sociology
Mi estudio analiza dos libros de texto para estudiantes del 7mo grado, uno retirado del Departamento de Educación de Puerto Rico (DEPR) en año 2002, titulado “Puerto Rico: Tierra Adentro, Mar Afuera” (Picó & Rivera, 1991) y el texto que le remplazó, “Historia y Geografía de Puerto Rico 7” (Cardona, Mafuz, Rodríguez, et al. 2002), actualmente en uso dentro del DEPR. Utilizando la pedagogía crítica como el marco teórico de mi investigación, analizo cómo se conceptualiza la relación histórica entre Puerto Rico y Estados Unidos en ambos libros de texto, ambos distribuidos bajo la administración política de partidos políticos diferentes. Los eventos históricos analizados pretenden abarcar el comienzo de las relaciones políticas entre ambos países hasta su relación actual. Estos eventos son: La guerra Hispano-Americana en 1898; la Ley Foraker, en 1900; la Ley Jones, de 1917; y la Ley Orgánica 600 (o “Estado Libre Asociado”) en 1952. Como ventana hacia los eventos históricos analizados, me refiero al trabajo de tres historiadores puertorriqueños (Alegría et al, 1988; Silvestrini & Luque de Sánchez, 1988; y Scarano, 2000) y comparo cómo estos eventos son escritos y conceptualizados por historiadores, versus cómo son representados en los libros de texto escolares. El análisis se llevó a cabo utilizando el modelo de análisis de discurso crítico de Norman Fairclough (1989, 2003). Análisis del discurso crítico es es el estudio de texto escrito o hablado a fin de de-construir discursos de poder, dominancia, inequidad y prejuicio. Durante el proceso se examinó el lenguaje utilizado en ambos textos, eventos incluidos, eventos omitidos, y la naturaleza y detalles provistos para cada uno de ellos, entre otras características lingüísticas. El estudio sugiere que la conceptualización de la Guerra Hispano-Americana y los 54 años posteriores a la invasión estadounidense en Puerto Rico están correlacionados con la agenda política de los partidos políticos en el poder al momento de la distribución de los libros de texto analizados. Adicionalmente, exploro cómo la percepción de las relaciones políticas entre PR y EEUU pudiera participar en discursos auto-destructivos presentes en la población puertorriqueña, como han identificado otros investigadores en el campo de la psicología y la sociología

Abstract:
AbstractIn her short historical novel Fe en disfraz (2009), Mayra Santos Febres uses re/presentations of time to re-invoke historical memory and to illuminate the ways in which black women’s lives were eclipsed from the Puerto Rican landscape. The novel offers a bold examination of the consequences of sexual exploitation and abuse on black women during enslavement, a topic which is under-explored in Puerto Rican and Latin American narrative. The intersection between the past and present that occurs through the unraveling of the narrator Fe’s life story reveals how the historical forces that shaped the lives of enslaved women continue to echo across time for contemporary black women. The treatment of time and the questioning of historical archives in the text both question and disrupt the official accounts of history: for instance, the intermittence of Santos Febres’ reconstructed historiography, which appears as a handful of short vignettes disseminated throughout the text, highlights the ways in which official stories have silenced black women’s lives. Countering this erasure, Santos Febres’ text anchors the black female body, depicting it as a site of cultural inscription and resilience.

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 chapter uncovers a little-known story of Puerto Rican and Arab American coalition building at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle (UICC) to begin considering the ways Chicago Puerto Ricans sharpened their political identities in conversation with the struggle for Palestinian liberation. It demonstrates how Puerto Rican solidarities with Palestine emerged not only as global visions of liberation, but also through grounded modes of identification—in this case, in response to the policing and surveillance of UICC’s 1978 Israeli Independence Day protest. I argue that it was precisely Puerto Rican and Arab American student activists’ concerns about surveillance and political repression that facilitated coalition building in Chicago. By locating the Israeli Independence Day celebration within a broader history of surveillance and counterintelligence, these Puerto Rican students mobilized the protests to articulate their own relationship to an aggressive, imperialist state. It was partly through the struggle for Palestinian self-determination that Chicago Puerto Ricans learned to think and operate within a “Third World” revolutionary political condition.

Abstract:
Whether in institutions of higher learning or in Humboldt Park, Puerto Ricans working for community change needed to find ways to communicate, document, and share their experiences. Chapter 5 focuses on the development of Puerto Rican print media and its importance in giving voice to the community’s life. Newspapers such as El Puertorriqueño and Que Ondee Sola are central to the story; they gave the community a voice in retelling their history, particularly with regard to schooling. El Puertorriqueño regularly informed parents and community members about critical news from local schools, including information on PTA meetings, open houses, and the hiring and firing of teachers and administrators. In contrast, mainstream newspapers did not have local Puerto Rican writers providing community accounts; nor did they celebrate the successes of the community and its children. Instead, mainstream newspapers created a monolithic portrayal of Puerto Ricans in the city, perpetuating misconceptions regarding the community.

Abstract:
Chapter 1 begins with a conversation about the historical consequences of U.S. colonial rule on the island as Puerto Ricans began to migrate to U.S. cities. Examining the role of community-based and citywide organizations in both New York and Chicago allows for a clearer understanding of the challenges faced by the population and the responses initiated to aid in their settlement in these cities—responses that often fell short. Groups such as the Mayor’s Committee on New Residents, the Welfare Council of Metropolitan Chicago, the Chicago Commission on Human Relations, and the Chicago Board of Education are central to this story, as they demonstrate the common tendency to focus on schools and language policies without a clear understanding of the population itself. It is important to highlight a variety of readings of the migratory and settlement history of Puerto Ricans to the United States and Chicago, as these histories vary across different spaces. Chapter 1 fosters an understanding of Puerto Ricans’ initial labor migration, the overlap between labor and education migration for Puerto Rican women in Chicago, and city agencies’ responses to the movement.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the settlement of Puerto Ricans in public housing in New York City. I examine demographic data, housing statistics from the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), and city documents to trace the history of Puerto Ricans in New York City public housing from 1945 to 1970. I argue that public housing became a tool in the differential incorporation of Puerto Ricans, incorporating them into the urban landscape through exclusionary policies that prevented people of color from having access to equitable and decent housing opportunities. The housing of Puerto Ricans offers a glimpse into how Puerto Ricans were differentially incorporated in public housing in New York City, while maintaining a precarious colonial and second-class status.

Abstract:
La crisis provocada por el COVID-19, que ha modificado nuestro modo de vida e impactado en la economía mundial, comprometiendo nuestra capacidad de organizarnos globalmente, nos ha puesto en contacto con la vulnerabilidad de nuestra forma de vida. Recordemos que las clases medias ya se habían visto duramente afectadas por la crisis económica de 2008, que llevó a duros recortes neoliberales en el Estado del Bienestar. A este panorama hay que añadir, desde los años 70, las advertencias de que es imposible un crecimiento económico constante en base a recursos naturales finitos, que nuestro modo de vida está desequilibrando todos los ecosistemas, modificando el clima, etc. Todo ello sugiere que este sistema no va a poder mantenerse indefinidamente, lo cual está impactando en nuestra cosmovisión, hasta el punto de que existe una línea de pensamiento “colapsista” que mantiene que el hiperconsumismo va a llegar su límite, lo cual llevaría a un colapso (económico, de suministros básicos, salud pública, etc.) que, de hecho, ya se ha instalado en los llamados países “subdesarrollados” y que acabará impactando en los demás. En nuestro panorama cultural estas graves preocupaciones están presentes -con investigaciones, films, series, obras de artistas, etc.-, donde el medio audiovisual tiene un importante papel en la actual cultura de la imagen y la conectividad online. En dicho contexto, centraremos nuestra atención en la serie L’Effondrement (El Colapso, 2019) producida por la plataforma digital Canal +. Está realizada por un colectivo de tres jóvenes realizadores, “Les parasites” (Los parásitos) que, desde 2013, difunde sus cortometrajes en su canal de YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqS1gDNHEX3FgJ8dPfSuRoQ). La serie tiene 8 capítulos de unos 20 minutos que muestran cómo sería ese hipotético colapso: falta de suministros en supermercados y gasolineras, organización de alternativas posibles en forma de ecoaldea, peligro de centrales nucleares sin mantenimiento, creación de islas de bienestar solo disponibles para los ricos, etc. En 8 escenarios concretos, separados por saltos en el tiempo (2 días después del colapso, 5 días, 50 días…) se va desgranando una historia abierta que enfrenta al espectador/a con un crudo encuentro con lo real. Pero lo más interesante de esta serie es su apuesta audiovisual: cada capítulo es un único plano secuencia filmado al estilo “Dogma”, en cámara al hombro, que provoca una sensación de verosimilitud por la ausencia de fragmentación del espacio-tiempo. Además, también es notable que la serie ha funcionado como evento online, pues, además de estrenar los capítulos en la plataforma de pago que la produce, posteriormente se difundieron en abierto en su propio canal. También colgaron, un año después, toda la serie acompañada de vídeos making off, reportajes y debates sobre los temas “sistémicos” -utilizando sus palabras- que les preocupan. Este es pues un claro ejemplo de cómo el audiovisual, a través de las plataformas online, puede “hacer presente”, construir discurso, traer al primer plano cuestiones que a menudo son silenciadas o tratadas con poco rigor o intereses económicos; cuestiones -como una sostenibilidad que realmente se preocupe por organizar sociedades justas desde el punto de vista ecosocial- llamadas a construir un imaginario colectivo fuera del pensamiento único.
