Social in psychoanalysis as an unconscious construction
There is no subject “in itself.” There is no subject without society. The subject must incorporate in its definition the impact of its social inclusion. It is in function of this “other” that, “from the very beginning,” individual psychology is “simultaneously” social psychology. It is there, in this field, where it is possible to approach how the conflicts that society harbors are expressed in what seems more personal and intimate, since what is…
Genealogía Del Estado Y El Derecho a Decidir
Este trabajo pretende realizar una genealogía1 del Estado y el derecho a decidir, buscando unir la teoría, con la observación participante del autor en la defensa de los derechos indígenas. El Estado es un instrumento de control que actúa contracorriente a un sistema de autodeterminación de los pueblos indígenas que ha existido durante siglos. No solo es posible un Estado pluricultural, sino que existe, y el trabajo es lograr su reconocimiento en…
Antología del pensamiento crítico puertorriqueño contemporáneo
"Hemos organizado esta antología alrededor de cinco ejes temáticos que nos permiten establecer conversaciones cruzadas entre los ensayos incluidos y formular algunas tesis que claramente los enlazan y que asumimos como propias. Podríamos haber establecido muchas más relaciones entre ellos y articular otras tesis interpretativas, pero con ello escaparíamos los confines de un ensayo introductorio. Le dejamos a los amigos y amigas lectores el culmin…

Afro-Latin@ Reader: History and Culture in the United States
The Diaspora Strikes Back
In The Diaspora Strikes Back the eminent ethnic and cultural studies scholar Juan Flores flips the process on its head: what happens to the home country when it is being constantly fed by emigrants returning from abroad? He looks at how 'Nuyoricans' (Puerto Rican New Yorkers) have transformed the home country, introducing hip hop and modern New York culture to the Caribbean island. While he focuses on New York and Mayaguez (in Puerto Rico), the m…
The Afro-Latin@ Reader: History and Culture in the United States
The Afro-Latin@ Reader focuses attention on a large, vibrant, yet oddly invisible community in the United States: people of African descent from Latin America and the Caribbean. The presence of Afro-Latin@s in the United States (and throughout the Americas) belies the notion that Blacks and Latin@s are two distinct categories or cultures. Afro-Latin@s are uniquely situated to bridge the widening social divide between Latin@s and African Americans…

Triple-Consciousness? Approaches to Afro-Latino Culture in the United States
While the idea of Afro-Latinos generally refers to African-descendant peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean, in recent years greater attention has been paid to the situation of Black Latinos in the United States, where Latinos and African Americans are frequently counter-posed and pitted against one another in a kind of race for demographic supremacy as the ‘largest minority’. The groups are presented as adversarial and mutually exclusive: e…

Nueva York, Diaspora City
New York magazine has been renamed Nueva York, at least for a week. The Spanish word on the cover of the September 6, 1999 issue is an eye-catcher for readers of the popular weekly, and attests to the currency of things, and words, "Latin" among the contemporary public in the United States. The theme of Nueva York, after all, is "The Latin Explosion," those words emblazoned in bold yellow and white lettering across the half-exposed midsection of …

From Bomba to Hip-Hop: Puerto Rican Culture and Latino Identity
Cultural identity is a constant theme in Juan Flores's work. The major Latino migrations to the United States, unparalleled in their diversity of race and national origin, are changing the racial and ethnic composition of the American population and moreover are redefining the social meanings of race, ethnicity, and American identity. The most important points of unification for Latinos have a historical dimension, according to Flores, and are sh…

Analyzes distinctiveness of Puerto Rican culture in New York in relation to that of other US Latino groups. Theoretically grounded essays address many of the contradictions behind the complex process of identity construction among Puerto Ricans and other Latinos. Focuses on popular mus…

Living Borders/Buscando America: Languages of Latino Self-Formation
My grandparents didn't get special language instruction in school. In fact, they never finished high school because they had to work for a living. Latinos hear this and similar statements every time the question of bilingual education comes up. Such statements highlight an important difference the maintenance of another language and the development of interlingual forms-between this new immigrant group and the older, ethnic immigrants. The fact i…

The Cultural Expression of Puerto Ricans in New York: A Theoretical Perspective and Critical Review
I am Puerto Rican. I came to this country in 1952 with my three brothers and one sister. My father and mother were here already working and saving money to send for us. My father, who is dead now, was a mechanic but had to do work in a plastic factory to earn a living. He earned extra money by fixing cars in his improvised shop right on the street. My mother was a seamstress in the garment district, and when she came home she would prepare dinner…

The Puerto Rico that José Luis González Built: Comments on Cultural History
A new vision of Puerto Rico is emerging in recent intellectual and cultural work, a revised understanding of its history and changing identity. Long viewed monolithically as an outpost of colonial Spain and, in the twentieth century, of the American empire, Puerto Rican cultural history is now being interpreted in more dynamic, differentiated terms. Growing attention is turning to the society's racial and ethnic composition, sexual divisions, and…
Reinstating Popular Culture: Responses to Christopher Lasch
The need for the desire for spontaneous popular association, suggests to Christopher Lasch our only respite from the deadening impact of contemporary mass culture. Citing Simone Weil, who understood these matters more clearly than sociological students of mass culture (even those whose sympathies lie with the Left), Lasch shares her amazement that certain periods almost without material means of communication surpassed ours in the wealth, variety…

Latino Studies: New Contexts, New Concepts
In this article, Juan Flores provides a historical and theoretical context for the study of Latino ethnicities. Presently, Latino Studies is at a paradoxical crossroads. While students at elite private colleges are clamoring for such programs, many public colleges and universities are cutting and consolidating Latino Studies programs virtually out of existence. As the battle to create, or preserve, Latino Studies departments rages on, the author …
