Morir y Vivir Beyond the Human: Partial Ecological Connections, the Reconceptualization of Life, and Puerto Rican Futures
Drawing on the moriviví , as a symbol of strength and refusal as well as a reminder of the continuity between life and death, this essay explores the relationship between the status of nature, the human, and futural possibilities.

On the Critique of Coloniality: Context, Gender, and History

As the paper demons…

At the Crossroads: Latina Identity and Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex
Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex has been heralded as a canonical text of feminist theory. The book focuses on providing an account of the lived experience of woman that generates a condition of otherness. However, I contend that it falls short of being able to account for the multidimensionality of identity insofar as Beauvoir's argument rests upon the comparison between racial and gendered oppression that is understood through the black–whit…
