  • Beyond Sun and Sand: Caribbean Environmentalisms

    Barbara Lynch, Marin Miller et al.BOOKBeyond Sun and Sand2020

    Filtered through the lens of the North American and European media, the Caribbean appears to be a series of idyllic landscapes-sanctuaries designed for sailing, diving, and basking in the sun on endless white sandy beaches. Conservation literature paints a similarly enticing portrait, describing the region as a habitat for endangered coral reefs and their denizens, parrots, butterflies, turtles, snails, and a myriad of plant species. In both vers…

  • A Fresh Defense: A Cultural Biography of Quality in Puerto Rican Fishing

    Open AccessDavid Griffiths, David Griffith et al.ARTICLEAmerican Anthropologist2013Cited by: 9References: 27

    Puerto Rican artisanal fishers, like artisanal food producers around the world, emphasize the quality of their products to compete with industrial food producer-distributors. In this article, we trace the cultural biographies of three important fish species, focusing on their roles in creating social relationships and, through this process, creating value and political alliances to contest fisheries laws. We argue that fishers move strategically …

  • Dialogía y ruptura: La tradición etnogr ́fica en la antropología aplicada en Puerto Rico, a partir de The People of Puerto Rico

    Open AccessManuel Valdés PizziniARTICLEJournal of Latin American…2001

    The People of Puerto Rico (1956) had an unquestionable academic and intellectual impact on the island. A review of the literature shows that anthropologists and their texts have established a special dialogic with The People, in which we es tablish a distance, for political reasons, but it is also a work that we keep citing and using as an essential source. The relationship between this text and the Puerto Rican anthropologists is a contra dictor…

  • Injury and therapy: Proletarianization in Puerto Rico's fisheries

    Open AccessD Griffith, David Griffiths et al.ARTICLEAmerican Ethnologist1992Cited by: 7References: 21

    Peasant fishers throughout Latin America and the Caribbean typically combine fishing with wage labor to varying degrees. Certain scholars have interpreted this as a reflection of incomplete incorporation into capitalist spheres of influence, where contradictions emerge as groups attempt to maintain economic and cultural autonomy while being subordinated to capitalist relations of production. In this article we investigate the conceptual and polit…
