Aprašymas

Race, Front and Center: Perspectives on Race among Puerto Ricans is a collection of essays that captures in a single volume the breath of research on the subject of race among Puerto Ricans, both in Puerto Rico, in the United States and in the migration between the two countries. It addresses the intellectual, aesthetic and historial trajectories that have served to inform the creation of a national identity among Puerto Ricans and how race as a social identity fits into the process of national identity-building. It also engages the process of racialization of Puerto Ricans in the United States highlighting how their race has mediated Puerto Ricans; process of incorporation in that society, how different generations of Puerto Ricans have understood their identity in the U.S. society, and how return migrants to Puerto Rico have adapted or re-adapted to island-based understandings of racial and national identities.
