Beyond Norma Rae
We Are Left without a Father Here
We Are Left without a Father Here is a transnational history of working people's struggles and a gendered analysis of populism and colonialism in mid-twentieth-century Puerto Rico.

The men expected to earn enough income to finally become successful breadwinners and fathers.…
