Publication Scholarship Articles on Puerto Rican Studies

Posted on by

In recognition of Puerto Rican Heritage Day (14 June) we highlight recent public scholarship from three UConn faculty and former students:

From Hilda Lloréns (Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Rhode Island), the article ‘Racialization works differently here in Puerto Rico, do not bring your U.S.-centric ideas about race here!’ and short book Ustedes tienen que limpiar las cenizas!

Poster-style illustration of two people raising their arms and wearing shirts that read ‘No a las cenizas en Peñuelas.’ Above them is bold Spanish text about cleaning up coal ash and environmental, climate, and energy justice in Puerto Rico. Authors’ names appear at the bottom.

From Ismael García-Colón (Associate Professor of Anthropology, CUNY State Island), the book Colonial Migrants at the Heart of Empire.

From Charles Robert Venator Santiago (Associate Professor of Political Science and Latina/o Studies, UCONN), Holyoke Hurricane María Response Study (soon to be published with the CUNY Centro de Estudios Puertorriqueños)

Felicidades, Hilda, Ismael y Rob!
