Abstract:
Minimum wage research has historically focused on labor mobility between covered and uncovered labor markets within a geographic area. This study examines the impact of minimum wage setting on labor migration. A multiple time series framework is applied to monthly data for Puerto Rico from 1970–1987. The results show that net emigration from Puerto Rico to the United States fell in response to significant changes in the manner in which minimum wage policy was conducted, particularly after 1974. The extent of commuter type labor migration between Puerto Rico and the United States is influenced by minimum wage policy, with potentially important consequences for human capital investment and long-term standards of living.

Abstract:
The name of this Hungarian-born, l^atin American writer may sound unfamiliar to us, Hungarian readers, but nowadays Kálmán Barsy is one of the most popular and highly recognised authors in America, whose very first novel was honored with the pri^e Casa de las Américas in 1982. His novels, short stories and essays have been published in several languages, but we can only read one of them in Hungarian. No doubt, this work occupies a very important place in our literature, as it is treating a less known subject, the story of the socalled second generation of the emigration. This second generation has only a few members like Kálmán Barsy, who shares his homeland memories, and the difficulties of the integration into a new and strange community. With this study I try to present not just his life and work, but also the way he describes the experience of an emigrant of the second generation.

Resumen: A lo largo de la siguiente entrevista, el profesor, historiador, crítico e investigador la de la Universidad de Puerto Rico, el catedrático en literatura puertorriqueña don Fernando Feliú Matilla, nos permite establecer una visión histórica de la génesis artística llevada a cabo en la Isla a través de los diferentes contextos socio-políticos que han tenido lugar en la misma desde la aparición de una literatura puertorriqueña propia y distintiva hasta la anexión de Puerto Rico a los Estados Unidos de América como Estado Libre Asociado en 1952 y su impronta en la génesis isleña. Si bien la entrevista tiene como objeto principal la literatura boricua, también se debaten en la misma el falocentrismo cultural presente en la cultura puertorriqueña, las relaciones políticas entre San Juan y Washington D.C., la influencia de los textos diaspóricos en la producción isleña o la situación del panorama artístico actual en Puerto Rico.Palabras clave: Literatura hispanoamericana; Literatura puertorriqueña; Estados Unidos; emigración; política. Abstract: Throughtout the following interview, professor Fernando Feliú Matilla, who holds a chair in Puerto Rican Studies and Literature, offers his personal point of view after years of research about Puerto Rican literature written in the 20th century. The interview is developed from a historical perspective, which means that it starts right from the moment Puerto Rico was still a Spanish colony in the Americas, until the present day, being Puerto Rico a Free Associated State of the United States of America (also known as American Commonwealth of Puerto Rico). Besides the literature, professor Feliú Matilla also gives his opinion about the absence of female writers in Puerto Rican literature, the relationships between San Juan and Washington D.C., the cultural movements that Puerto Rican literature written nowadays is influenced by, and many other different topics such as Caribbean literature written in the United States and its connection with Puerto Rican art.Keywords: Hispanic Literature; Puerto Rican Literature; USA; immigration; politics.

Abstract:
“Unlike some Latin American mainland societies which still contain large numbers of indigenous peoples,” Jorge Duany observed, “Caribbean societies are immigrant societies almost from the moment of their conception.” Médéric-Louis-Élie Moreau de Saint- Méry likened the latter to “shapeless mixtures subject to diverse influences.” Their population, Dawn I. Marshall reminds us, “is to a large extent the result of immigration—from initial settlement, forced immigration during slavery, indentured immigration, to the present outward movement to metropolitan countries.” Throughout their history, David Lowenthal noted, limited resources and opportunities kept West Indian societies in a constant state of flux, impelling continuous transfers of people, technology, and institutions within the area. Despite the frequency and importance of these population movements, the bulk of scholarship on American migration history has traditionally concentrated on areas favored by European settlement. Moreover, the overwhelming quantity of research on immigration to the United States, Canada, Argentina, and Brazil has tended to overshadow the study of similar processes in other American regions. Due to its historical association with the arrival of involuntary settlers, migratory currents in the Caribbean have been too narrowly identified with bondage, penal labor and indentured workers. Nowhere is the imbalance more conspicuous than in the study of trans-Caribbean migratory streams during slavery. Discussions on pre-1838 population shifts have centered largely on inter-island slave trading and the exodus prompted by Franco-Haitian revolutionary activity in the Caribbean. The parallel legacy of motion hinted by Neville N.A.T. Hall's “maritime” maroons and Julius S. Scott's “masterless” migrants has attracted noticeably less attention.

Abstract:
Both the campaign and subsequent election of Donald Trump have brought about marked changes in the overall tone of American political discourse. It is thought that these changes have been particularly disruptive to the public’s view of Hispanic immigration. To evaluate the current state of Hispanic political opinion regarding immigration, this study draws upon data from a survey conducted in January 2018 of 1,080 people of Hispanic descent currently living in the United States or Puerto Rico. Researchers looked at the impact of age, gender, language preference, time lived in the United States, and knowing an undocumented immigrant on participants’ views of immigration. Taking the survey in Spanish and knowing an undocumented immigrant were found to be the most influential factors in determining a favorable view of undocumented immigrants as well as a perceived increase in discrimination toward Hispanics since Trump’s election.

Resumen: Este artículo compara cuatro migraciones caribeñas hacia las cuatro metrópolis que dominan el Caribe hoy. Se trata de las migraciones desde territorios no-independientes del Caribe: desde Martinica/Guadalupe hacia Francia, Puerto Rico hacia los Estados Unidos, Surinam/Caribe Holandés hacia Holanda y Caribe Británico hacia el Reino Unido. El artículo no solamente compara los procesos de emigración sino también los procesos de incorporación al llegar a las cuatro metrópolis. La comparación nos da una idea fundamental acerca de las diferencias entre estas metrópolis en términos de ciudadanía, mito fundacional de nación, racismo, y política pública hacia las minorías racializadas.Palabras clave: Caribe, migración colonial, colonialidad, Sistema-mundo.Abstract: This article compares four Caribbean migrations towards the four Metropoles that dominate the Caribbean today. In particular, it deals with migrations from non-independent territories in the Caribbean: from Martinique/Guadaloupe to France, Puerto Rico to the USA, Surinam/Dutch Caribbean to The Netherlands, and British Caribbean to the United Kingdom. The article not only compares the emigration processes but also the incoporation processes once they arrive to the four metropoles. The comparison gives us a fundamental idea about the differences between the four metropoles in terms of citizenship, foundational myth about the nation, racism and public policy towards racialized minorities.Key words: Caribbean, Colonial Migration, Coloniality, World-System.

Abstract:
We examine the interlinked migrations between the Dominican Republic and Haiti, between the Dominican Republic and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and, finally, migrations from these three countries to the United States. The literature tends to draw stark differences between race and racism in the United States and the nonracial societies of Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. However, although Blackness is a contextual category, through analyzing how “Black” migrants are racialized using these three contexts, we find that there is a simultaneously global and local derogation of “Blackness” that places Black migrants at the bottom of socioeconomic hierarchies. Further, these migrants remain largely outside of conceptions of the nation, and thus Blackness is constructed as a blend of racial phenotype and national origin, whereby native “Blacks” attempt to opt out of Blackness on account of their national identity. This dynamic is particularly true in the Caribbean where Blanqueamiento, or Whitening, is made possible through a dialectical process in which a person's Whiteness, or at least his or her non-Blackness, is made possible by contrast to an “Other.” Consequently, we argue that immigration becomes a key site for national processes of racialization, the construction of racial identities, and the maintenance of and contestation over racial boundaries.

Abstract:
The Asociación Los Ñetas was born in the prison system of Puerto Rico in the 1980s. Following different waves of immigration, the group circulated and developed in New York, Guayaquil (Ecuador) and Barcelona (Spain). Los Ñetas have put in place a complex internal legal framework with sets of rules and sanctions. The aim of this article is to understand how Ñeta law and state law interact. The main argument is that the dichotomization between the formal and the informal teaches us little about this interaction because it rests on a narrow definition of what constitutes law. Rather, one should emphasize how the Ñeta law constitutes an ethical framework.

Abstract:
This paper explores the relationship between disability and the aspirational health of the civic body through an analysis of the criminalization of immigration and the war on drugs. In particular, this paper utilizes tools from transnational disability studies to examine the formation and maintenance of a form of ablenationalism operating within immigration reform and drug-related policies. Specifically, the militarization of border zones, as well as the vast austerity measures impacting people across North, Central, and South America have shaped notions of public health, safety, and security according to racial, gendered, and settler logics of futurity. The final section of the paper turns to three authors who have been situated in various ways on the margins of the United States, Gloria Anzaldúa (the Mexico-U.S. border), Aurora Levins Morales (Puerto Rico), and Margo Tamez (Lipan Apache). As such, this article analyzes the liberatory, affective, and future-oriented dimensions of disabled life and experience to chart possibilities for resistance to the converging momentum of carceral settler states, transnational healthcare networks, and racial capitalism.

Abstract:
Ce travail de recherche porte sur la littérature caribéenne et plus précisément sur la narration. Le corpus littéraire sert de support pour l'étude des migrations et des métissages dans les sociétés de Cuba, Porto Rico et la République Dominicaine. L'importance de l'histoire chez les écrivains caribéens, leur attachement à décrire leur société est un phénomène constant depuis le début du XXe siècle. Dans cette thèse, nous essayerons de voir si tous les apports laissés par ces mouvements migratoires vers, dans et hors de la Caraïbe sont reconnus par les cultures d'accueil. La thèse se divise en trois parties; une première partie de présentation des concepts et des contextes des œuvres, une deuxième d'analyse littéraire et une troisième centrée sur les points de vue de trois écrivains. Marta Rojas, Luis López Nieves et Marcio Veloz Maggiolo répondent à cinq questions sur la littérature caribéenne, leur œuvre et leurs influences. Grâce à leurs réponses, nous tenterons de savoir si on peut parler aujourd'hui d'une littérature caribéenne, ou bien si elles sont multiples
This research work deals with Caribbean literature and more precisely with the issue of narration. A literary corpus will be used to study migrations and amalgamations within societies living in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Caribbean writers have always been very concerned with History, and their attempts to describe their own society have been a constant phenomenon since the early 20th century. Thanks to this thesis, we will try to see whether all the contributions brought along via migratory movements toward, inward and outward Caribbean have been acknowledged by the culture of the host countries. The study is divided in three parts: the first will present the concepts and the historical background alluded to in the novels and short stories, the second will consist in a textual analysis, the third will focus on some authors' points of view. Marta Rojas, Luis López Nieves and Marcio Veloz Maggiolo have been asked five questions about Caribbean literature, their own oeuvre and their sources of inspiration. Thanks to their answers, we will try to figure whether nowadays Caribbean literature should be considered as one or many

Abstract:
The assassination of the Dominican dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo in 1961 marked the beginning of many rebirths for the Dominican Republic. Confronted with the growing pains of an emerging democratic national consciousness, the island was also faced with an unprecedented circumstance: a massive exodus that displaced thousands of Dominicans to the United States and Puerto Rico. My dissertation focuses on contemporary narrative representations of Dominican migrations to the United States and Puerto Rico. In chapter 1, "A Product of Exiles, Travels and Displacements: The Constructions of an Ethnic and Racial Consciousness in the United States in Pedro Henríquez Ureña's Memoir," I propose my own working definition of a Dominican transnational subjectivity at the beginning of the 20th century as I see it surfacing in Henríquez Ureña's memoir. In chapter two, "With Floating (Intranational) Borders: Displaced Dominicans in Puerto Rican Narratives," I explore the narrative representation of Dominican migrations to Puerto Rico and the challenges they bring about to the Puerto Rican national discourse constituted in the late 1930s. This chapter analyzes José Luis González's La luna no era de queso: memorias de infancia (1988), Ana Lydia Vega's "El día de los hechos" from her short story collection Encancaranublado y otros cuentos de naufragio (1982) and Magali García Ramis's "Cuatro retratos urbanos" from the short story collection Las noches del riel de oro (1995). In chapter three, "Of Absent (nomadic) Fathers and Boys in Construction: Dominican Diasporic Subjectivities in Junot Díaz's Drown," I analyze the short story collection titled Drown (1993) by Junot Díaz. My reading of Diaz's work interprets his characters as gravitating towards communities in which they become active components of multi-racial and multi-ethnic communities fostered by global migrations. In the last chapter, "Crooked City Women: A Reading of Race, Ethnicity and Migration in Narratives of Late 20th and 21st Century Dominican Women writers," I focus on Loida Martiza Pérez's novel Geographies of Home (1999) and Josefina Báez's performance piece Dominicanish (2000) to illustrate how their work challenges patriarchal forms of expression that are rooted in the homeland and then disseminated in U.S. diasporic Dominican communities.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the case of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Hawai‘i is a valuable case study in demographic change and national identity because Native Hawaiians had to internalize immigration-driven diversity and accept its contradictions. The arrival of Americans in Hawai’i in the nineteenth century spread disease, spurred immigration, and eventually toppled the Hawaiian Kingdom and its system of cultural norms. By the time Native Hawaiians organized during the 1960s “Hawaiian Renaissance,” they had intermarried and intermingled their traditions, culture, and genealogies with people from China, Japan, Portugal, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and the United States. This chapter explores four different ways Hawaiians have renegotiated their sense of identity and power in the aftermath of demographic transformation: (1) the reestablishment of genealogical bloodlines, (2) legal quests to reassert Hawaiian national sovereignty, (3) the resurrection of the Hawaiian language, and (4) the reclamation of ancestral lands and revival of farming cooperatives.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 examines the Caribbean refugee crisis of 1980 and the government’s response. After more than one hundred thousand Cubans and tens of thousands of Haitians arrived on American shores in a matter of months, the Carter administration implemented a policy of detention for both groups. But this temporary response mutated into a more permanent policy of long-term detention for Haitians (as well as several hundred Cubans) and ultimately into the more widespread use of detention for asylum seekers. This chapter also explores the origins and early history of the Krome Avenue Detention Center in Miami, a site that remained central to the history of immigration detention and also documents attempts by the government to create its first refugee processing center and detention facility outside of the mainland United States, in Fort Allen, Puerto Rico. Ultimately, the Carter administration’s treatment of Haitian asylum seekers at this critical moment in 1980 enabled the succeeding administration to dramatically expand the role of detention in the U.S. government’s immigration enforcement arsenal.

Abstract:
Dulce Pinzón’s photographic series ‘The Real Story of the Superheroes’, celebrates Mexican and Latina/o/x immigrant workers in the United States by radically re-imagining the figure of the super hero. The 2012 book which compiles the images features 20 photographs of immigrant workers living in New York, 18 of whom are from Mexico, while the other two are from Puerto Rico and Ecuador. Pinzón’s work is a striking combination of documentary photography and fantasy, as her subjects go about their everyday jobs dressed as superheroes. She was inspired to take the photographs in the wake of 9/11, when the increased hostility towards migrants in the United States was coupled with an intense celebration of the heroes who attempted to cope with the terrorist attacks and the subsequent resurgence of the superhero genre. Pinzón’s choice of the visual motif of the superhero raises the paradox that these popular cultural icons are frequently engaged in defending the United States from alien invasions, which are often thinly veiled references to fear of immigrants. This chapter contends, however, that Pinzón employs the hybridity inherent in these characters, and which has marked photography in Mexico from its inception, to present alternative heroes using a language that is normally associated with U.S. hegemony and oppression

Abstract:
This chapter gives a overview of US and international responses to environmental migration and the lack of legal protections for the so-called “climate refugees.” The chapter introduces readers to the case studies in this book. The Caribbean and Central American countries and territories discussed in this book—Montserrat, Nicaragua, Honduras, the US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico—are responsible for only a tiny fraction of the world’s carbon emissions, but climate change has already affected their agricultural production, urban and rural infrastructure, public health, and local and state economies. Geography has made these places particularly vulnerable to sudden-onset disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, but so, too, has coloniality, weak governance, indebtedness, short-sighted development policies, and a wide range of non-state actors. Governmental responses have layered disaster upon disaster that have created multiple forms of vulnerability that have led to internal and cross-border migration. The case studies illustrate why Temporary Protected Status (TPS)—and other ad hoc immigration policies—are not appropriate responses to migration in a world of accelerating climate change.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter further establishes the book’s central argument that immigration detention operates as a form of counterinsurgency by analyzing a series of case studies of acts of resistance led by detained Haitian and Central American asylum-seekers and Central American peace and Sanctuary movement activists, and forms of US government retaliation. It recounts a series of hunger strikes, acts of coordinated unrest, and mobilization of Haitian testimonies through inside-outside organizing at the Krome detention center in Miami and at Fort Allen, Puerto Rico. It also details the origins, growth, and activities of the transnational 1980s Sanctuary movement which effectively shielded Salvadoran and Guatemalan asylum-seekers from detention and deportation, including internal tensions over organizing tactics and the movement’s use of media and public relations to denounce US Central American foreign policy. The second half of the chapter details how the Reagan administration responded to resistance inside and outside of detention with retaliation that amounted to a “total war” against immigrants in detention and allies on the outside. Forms of retaliation included physical abuse, solitary confinement, transfers, and deportation of people in detention, and use of covert tactics to surveil, intimidate, harass, and prosecute Sanctuary movement activists.
