  • 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. His recent writing appears or is forthcoming in American Literary History, American Quarterly, Arcade, Chicago Review, and the Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics: Fourth Edition, for which he was assistant editor.
