Meek, Chair Professor Bruce Mannheim Professor Judith T. Irvine Professor Ruth Behar Associate Professor Lawrence M. La Fountain-Stokes © Sherina Feliciano-Santos 2011 DEDICATION Para Mami y Daddy Por el apoyo incondicional y por siempre creer en mi, aún cuando a mi misma se me hacía díficil. Por ser modelos de humanidad e integridad. Por ser mis padres, los quiero. También a Abuelito, Porque fuiste ejemplo y siempre te llevaré conmigo. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Five years ago, in a meeting to talk about my final paper proposal on Jibaridad in Puerto Rico, Tom Trautmann asked if there were any indigenous movements in the Island. After a responding with a resolute ―NO,‖ I thought about it and remembered that the prior summer I had read an article in a newspaper about a group of people claiming to be Taíno protesting the management of the Caguana ceremonial site in Utuado, PR. It was this question and my own response to it, which led to the questions that would ultimately inform this dissertation project. For asking that initial question, I want to thank Tom Trautmann. Barb Meek has been an exceptional teacher, mentor, advisor, and friend. During my many years at Michigan, Barb guided me in thinking about language, indigeneity, field methods, and analysis. I feel deeply fortunate to have had her exceptional input and her unwavering support throughout my graduate student career.

  • “Orgulloso De Mi Caserío Y De Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón by Petra Raquel Rivera a Disser
    “Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón By Petra Raquel Rivera A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Percy C. Hintzen, Chair Professor Leigh Raiford Professor Joceylne Guilbault Spring 2010 “Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón © 2010 By Petra Raquel Rivera Abstract “Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón by Petra Raquel Rivera Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Percy C. Hintzen, Chair My dissertation examines entanglements of race, place, gender, and class in Puerto Rican reggaetón. Based on ethnographic and archival research in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and in New York, New York, I argue that Puerto Rican youth engage with an African diasporic space via their participation in the popular music reggaetón. By African diasporic space, I refer to the process by which local groups incorporate diasporic resources such as cultural practices or icons from other sites in the African diaspora into new expressions of blackness that respond to their localized experiences of racial exclusion. Participation in African diasporic space not only facilitates cultural exchange across different African diasporic sites, but it also exposes local communities in these sites to new understandings and expressions of blackness from other places. As one manifestation of these processes in Puerto Rico, reggaetón refutes the hegemonic construction of Puerto Rican national identity as a “racial democracy.” Similar to countries such as Brazil and Cuba, the discourse of racial democracy in Puerto Rico posits that Puerto Ricans are descendents of European, African, and indigenous ancestors.

They are malleable inventions created by the negotiation of ascribed ideas from outside groups and asserted notions from the inside group’s membership. The revitalization of Taíno identity and culture within the Puerto Rican and related communities is a classic case example of this negotiation.

Such denial, initiated by Spanish blood purity ideologies and continued by U.S. American hegemony, has resulted in the “othering” of African religious expression, which has yet to be fully embraced by society at-large and by ecclesiastical structures. Instead African religious expression has been integrated into the popular practices of the common class. Informed by this background, this research explores popular Catholic practices of African inheritance in Puerto Rico, examining their history, meaning, and potential contribution for the theological community. iv Dedicated to Justo Santana v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Special thanks and acknowledgment is owed to Dr. Neomi De Anda, whose support and direction as my advisor, over the course of more than a year, has greatly assisted in the development of this research.

En este trabajo se estudia y amplía la concepción de prácticas artísticas de motivación política entre 1970 y 1980, tomando en consideración la relación entre varios actores culturales que actuaron en el límite de la poesía, la gráfica y la acción política. El estudio se centra en la publicación Fuera de Trabajo (1977) de Esteban Valdés y la campaña del Gobierno Araña llevada a cabo por el Comité Pro Defensa de la Cultura Puertorriqueña (1980), pero también incluye otras obras y acciones centrales a esta problemática, tales como la revista mural Alicia la Roja, las performances de Carlos Irizarry, un billete-volante utilizado por el Movimiento Pro Independencia y las protestas en las bienales grabado de San Juan durante la década del setenta, entre otros casos.
