Martínez All rights reserved Acknowledgement 786 The following is an acknowledgement of the Caribeño scholarly and artistic tradition dedicated to the freedom of Puerto Rican people, as it is expressed in the fields of education and culture, which I have chosen to fuse here for a performative del Portorro experience. Saludos to Philomena, Laurien, Carolyn, Elaine, René, and Ulrika for showing that poetry-pedagogy in a professor is possible. The poet is the teacher and the teacher is the poet. Poeta y maestra y maestro must become freedom fighters—to be a doctor of justicia y lucha – justice and struggle. This pedagogy is impossible without the pen of the poet. This poetry is impossible without the promise of the teacher. And this poetry and this pedagogy are impossible without the power of our indigenous and diasporic elders. And this poetry and this pedagogy are impossible without the people who have taken me to higher plans of knowledge—so I will always acknowledge I their names I say, like Ray Barretto insisted, we must R-I-C-A-N RicanStruct our self- determining Borinqueño reality. i Dedicación 786 A mi/s querida/s familia/s Bendición, Mamy y Papá Salam, Baba Khalil Flores y canciones, Zainab Por su apoyo, People’s Organzation for Progress En memoria de Uncle Floyd 2X White (Shorty) & Carmen Pietri ii Abstract Young, Gifted and Brown is a journey of two directions converging. It is a study of Puerto Rican Diaspora in higher education, specifically, students making sense and meaning of their everyday. It is also a study of how I have related to them as a professor. Together, this is a story: research done creatively, toward the development of Critical Pedagogy for Puerto Rican Diaspora. The research question is: what has made the Puerto Rican Diaspora in the United States flourish and their lived experience meaningful? How can a diasporic people connect with and affirm their roots in an educational system far from home? The answer is rooted in creativity: how does poetry provoke students to teach each other about their experiences and to learn with each other through sharing their own poetry? This Dissertation was composed through poetic performance ethnography, from which I have developed my findings from students’ reflections on their lives through the AutoEthnoPoetic. The process is deeply informed by Eugenio María de Hostos’ moral social and José Martí’s poetic pedagogy as well as race critical educational theories, including Culturally Relevant Pedagogy. Through an AutoEthnoPoetic journey through puertorriqueñidad, “Puerto Rican-ness,” or sense of being Puerto Rican, there are lessons for students and educators on how poetic performance ethnography can facilitate success and alegría (happiness) and inspire, motivate, and celebrate in an education system where diaspora are present.

  • Reading Julia De Burgos with the FBI HARRIS FEINSOD
    98 CENTRO JOURNAL VOLUME XXVI • NUMBER II • FALL 2014 Between Dissidence and Good NeighBor Diplomacy: Reading Julia de Burgos with the FBI HARRIS FEINSOD ABSTRACT Little is known about Julia de Burgos’s six months as an audit clerk at the Offi ce of the Co- ordinator of Inter-American Affairs in Washington, D.C. (1944-1945). This article recounts this interlude in Burgos’s career by focusing on her FBI fi le and the Hatch Act investigation that led to her termination as a federal employee. Reading the FBI fi le in the vein of literary criticism, the article shows how bureau ghosttranslators characterized Burgos’s political poems as works of dissident Nationalism. In so far as Burgos’s poems navigate the compet- ing ideologies of Puerto Rican Nationalism and Good Neighbor diplomacy, the article links them to a hemispheric matrix of writing—by Elizabeth Bishop, Pablo Neruda, Luis Palés Matos, Samuel Putnam and William Carlos Williams, among others—in which Puerto Rican decolonial politics intersect international communism and anticommunism. [Keywords: Julia de Burgos; Pablo Neruda; Elizabeth Bishop; Federal Bureau of Investigations; Good Neigh- bor Policy; Puerto Rican Nationalism] The author ([email protected]) is Assistant Professor in the Department of English and the Program in Comparative Literary Studies at Northwestern University. His current book project is Fluent Mundo: Inter-American Poetry from Good Neighbors to Countercultures.

  • SPRING 2012 25 a Nuyorican Absurdist: Pedro Pietri and His Plays of Happy Subversion David Crespy
    SPRING 2012 25 A Nuyorican Absurdist: Pedro Pietri and His Plays of Happy Subversion David Crespy Jerzy Grotowski once wrote of the visionary Antonin Artaud, “He wasn’t entirely himself;” the same might be said of the late poet Pedro Pietri—who wasn’t entirely himself since he began writing plays (Grotowski 117). Pietri’s body of plays, having been produced in New York since the late sixties and early seventies, recommends itself as an example of the wave of Nuyorican theatre in the US prominent at that time—characterized by experimentation in form and the merging of social issues within that form (Mohr 92). For Raphael Dalleo and Elena Machado Sáez, Pietri is a transi- tional figure, moving from the “anti-colonial project” of his early 60’s poetry to “reconcile himself to the emergence of the Post-Sixties Order” and, in so doing, reaching out to a broader audience (Dalleo and Sáez 12). After the 1960s, Pietri chose to “disorient” himself from the mass of populist social- realism that had characterized much of Latino/a playwriting prevalent before and up to the late 1960s, and to find his voice in his own brand of Nuyorican absurdism that has at its heart “a strong affirmation of puertorriqueñismo, pride in one’s essence and heritage” (Mohr 95). Reading Pietri is a great deal like reading Ionesco; there is the same cheerful dismemberment of language, the same static violence, and above all, a calculated disorientation which serves to scourge and reinvest language (in this case, three languages: English, Spanish, and Spanglish) in ways which skew all reasoned attempts to make sense.

  • Rafael Cancel-Miranda Praised on His 90Th Birthday
    Rafael Cancel-Miranda praised on his 90th birthday Mayagüez, July 19 (RHC)-- A group of independence fighters on Saturday exalted the figure of nationalist fighter Rafael Cancel-Miranda, on his 90th birthday, at the Vivaldi Cemetery in Mayagüez, where his remains have been laid to rest since March 8th. Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) leader Julio Muriente Perez lamented that due to his irredeemable death, on July 18th he could not be shared with thousands of his fellow countrymen in his native Mayaguez, in western Puerto Rico, "where his immortal remains now rest." The former president of the Movimiento Independentista Nacional Hostosiano (MINH) said that perhaps the meeting would have been at the grave of the combative nationalist leader Pedro Albizu Campos, in the cemetery of Old San Juan, where Cancel-Miranda first went after stepping on Puerto Rican soil after his release from prison in September 1979, after spending 25 years in U.S. prisons. Muriente Pérez said that on this occasion "we would have liked to sing to him, recite his poems, remember his anecdotes, laugh at his great sense of humor, re-charge his batteries with his immeasurable desire to live and serve his people and humanity, evoke his admirable perseverance and firmness of principle." Likewise, he said, we would have remembered, with similar respect to his colleagues Oscar Collazo, Lolita Lebron, Irving Flores and Andres Figueroa Cordero, that "like Rafaelito they are our National Heroes." Born on July 18, 1930 in Mayagüez, he dedicated his life to the independence of Puerto Rico under the inspiration of Pedro Albizu Campos, whom as a Cadet of the Republic, a youth organization of the Nationalist Party, he welcomed in December 1947 upon his return from serving a 10-year sentence in Atlanta and New York charged with conspiracy to overthrow the United States government.

  • The Code-Switching and Confluence of Languages in Esmeralda Santiago’S When I Was Puerto Rican (1993)
    FAURJ The Code-Switching and Confluence of Languages in Esmeralda Santiago’s When I was Puerto Rican (1993) Sarah Stamos and Carmen Cañete-Quesada Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College Abstract: “The Code-Switching and Confluence of Languages in Esmeralda Santiago’s When I was Puerto Rican (1993)” is an essay/article written to produce and analyze thought on the style of code-switching of Spanish-English bilinguals. Santiago’s memoir details her young life in Puerto Rico in a rural home and society and then how she had to transition when she and her family moved to New York. Code-switching is when, in reference to Spanish and English, a person who speaks English will substitute an English word or phrase for a Spanish word or phrase. This occurs primarily with bilinguals. In When I was Puerto Rican, Santiago includes some Spanish words in her English context (because her primary language is English), practicing code-switching. This essay demonstrates the fundamentals of code-switching, how it is detailed in When I was Puerto Rican, and how events in history aided to its modern formation. “Code-switching” and the confluence of lan- The investigators discuss code-switching by ref- guages has been a linguistic manifestation of the erencing Spanish-English bilinguals and Chi- encounters between people of different cultures. nese-English bilinguals.

  • Jíbaros and Diaspora in Esmeralda Santiago's
    Label Me Latina/o Summer 2014 Volume IV 1 Multiple Hybridities: Jíbaros and Diaspora in Esmeralda Santiago’s When I Was Puerto Rican By Lorna L. Pérez Esmeralda Santiago's first memoir When I Was Puerto Rican, published in 1994, chronicles the childhood and relocation of Santiago and her family from Puerto Rico to New York City. The memoir—the vast majority of which takes place in Puerto Rico— charts the ways that Santiago becomes a hybrid, an identity that she represents as being created in the belly of the plane that takes her family from Puerto Rico to the United States. While the trauma of relocation that Santiago articulates is profound, the hybridity that permeates this memoir is more reflective of the changes that marked mid-twentieth century life in Puerto Rico than it is of the trauma of relocation. Though the relocation in the memoir is certainly a traumatic experience, it is not the site of hybridity in the text, but is rather its culmination. Santiago symbolically represents multiple modes of hybridity in the memoir, including the hybridity implied by the title of the text, which speaks to the ways that Puerto Rican life is being drastically reconfigured in the years from 1950-1970. Reading the text in light of the multiple hybrid modes that Santiago employs points to an anxiety that lies in the heart of the current debates about Puerto Rican identity: what does it mean to be Puerto Rican and how do we represent a hybridity that is created through the borderland state that is the Commonwealth? The ambiguity that marked and continues to mark the Commonwealth status of Puerto Rico creates within Santiago’s text a painful ambivalence, wherein the articulation of this identity manifests a borderlands subjectivity that is born from the legal ambiguity of the Commonwealth.
