    Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Sophia Smith Collection, Smith College Northampton, MA AURORA LEVINS MORALES Interviewed by KELLY ANDERSON SEPTEMBER 28 and 30, 2005 Northampton, MA This interview was made possible with generous support from the Ford Foundation. © Sophia Smith Collection 2005 Sophia Smith Collection Voices of Feminism Oral History Project Narrator Aurora Levins Morales was born in Indiera, Puerto Rico in 1954 to a Puerto Rican mother and Jewish father.

  • Aurora Levins Morales (1954- ) Poet, Activist, Historian Aurora Levins
    Aurora Levins Morales (1954- ) Poet, activist, historian Aurora Levins Morales (1954-) was born in Indiera, Puerto Rico, to a U.S.-born Puerto Rican mother and a Jewish father. In 1967 they went to the United States. She has lived in Chicago, Minneapolis and Berkeley. She is a lecturer and a social activist deeply concerned with issues affecting third world people and most especially women. As a Puerto Rican writer Levins Morales deals with her Puerto Rican identity from a global perspective. She is a member of the Latina Feminist Group and she collaborated in the group’s project Telling To Live: Latina Feminist Testimonios (2001). Recurrent themes in her works and essays are sexual abuse, racial discrimination but also ecology and social justice. She shares with many other US women writers of color her use of hybrid forms (prose and poetry), mixture of personal and collective voices and the importance of a female ethnic heritage in the development of a female voice. Her first and most acclaimed work, Getting Home Alive (1986), was written in collaboration with her mother, Rosario Morales. It is a common project where both women pay homage to a multiple heritage where they find solace and refuge against discrimination and oppression. Important themes in Getting Home Alive are female Puerto Rican identity, third world and working-class feminism, women’s relationships, Puerto Rican multiple identity (Latin American, African, Jewish, North American), memory as a means of recovering a past heritage and writing as a means of self- discovery. Getting Home Alive is a hybrid collection of stories, poems and personal essays where their Puerto Rican identity is formally described as a mestiza identity, a crossroad of many diasporas.

  • Why Latino History Matters to U.S. History
    The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 20 (2009) Why Latino History Matters to U.S. History Vicki L. RUIZ* Who are Latinos and why do their stories matter? Latinos represent the largest minority population in the United States, a diverse mosaic in terms of cultural background, generation (e.g. immigrant, U.S. born children of im- migrants, grandchildren of immigrants), and historical experience. The term Latino refers to all people of Latin American birth or heritage who live in the United States—from Hispanos in New Mexico, who can trace their roots in the Southwest back to the seventeenth century, to recent arrivals from Guate- mala. However, there has never existed a single mutually agreed on ethnic label. Latino and Hispanic are the most encompassing terms, but many prefer specifi c nationality-based identities, such as Mexicano or Mexican American (Mexican), Puertorriqueño (Puerto Rican), or Cubano (Cuban). Others prefer a distinctly regional identifi cation—Tejano is popular in Texas, while in New Mexico and Colorado, Hispano or Hispanic remains the preferred nomencla- ture.1 Of the 41.3 million Latinos in the United States, 64 percent are Mexican, 10 percent Puerto Rican, and 3 percent Cuban, representing over three-quar- ters of this growing population. Moreover, these three ethnicities have long histories in the United States, for Mexicans in the Southwest and Pacifi c Coast and for other Latinos in Florida and the Atlantic seaboard. It is crucial to understand these histories within and beyond the borders of the United States and to contextualize present and projected demographic realities with the pasts that preceded them.

  • Aurora Levins Morales, Ph.D
    Aurora Levins Morales, Ph.D. Aurora Levins Morales is a historian, lecturer, poet, storyteller, essayist and social activist deeply concerned about the struggles and triumphs of women and people of color. She entered my life through one of her essays, The Historian as Curandera, which challenged me, guided me and empowered me to redefine my role as a historian of addiction treatment and recovery. It was through her writings that I have been able to reconcile my commitment to historical scholarship and objectivity with my one activism within the new addiction recovery advocacy movement. In describing her writing she says: I have a commitment to myself not to take the easy route, to not say things that I don't believe in, to tackle things in a truthful way. The books that we write, particularly as women of color, are books that people use in their lives in very important ways. I've had people tell me that my book helped keep them in school or helped them tackle some problem in their lives. There is a fair amount of literature that comes out of oppressed groups that just complains about how hard things are. I think writers have to be leaders in our communities, and need to give people something to work with, something to move from, a sense of power and responsibility. Her published works include: Levins Morales, Aurora and Rosario Morales. (1986). Getting Home Alive. New York: Firebrand Books, 1986. Levins Morales, Aurora. (1998) Remedios: Stories of Earth and Iron from the History of Puertorriqueñas. Boston: Beacon Press, 1998.

Appropriation of dominant ideological forms and their application in political struggle allows for subversion of oppressive protocols of subjugation and exploitation while ensuring social transformation. The significance of this political proposal lies in the possibility of transformation of exist- ing material conditions into sources of liberating strategies. Sandoval emphasizes that it is necessary “to comprehend, respond to, and act upon” economic, political, and cul- tural forces affecting consciousness and identity (“New Sciences” 408), understanding that these forces create “particular subject positions within which the subordinated can legitimately function” (“Feminist Forms” 57).

  • Getting Home Alive by Aurora Levins Morales and Rosario Morales
    ATLANTIS Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies 39.2 (December 2017): 47-67 issn 0210-6124 | e-issn 1989-6840 doi: 10.28914/Atlantis-2017-39.2.03 Grounding Oneself at the Crossroads: Getting Home Alive by Aurora Levins Morales and Rosario Morales Carmen Flys Junquera Instituto Franklin, Universidad de Alcalá [email protected] This article analyzes some of the multiple dimensions of hybridity in Getting Home Alive (1986) by Puerto Ricans Aurora Levins Morales and Rosario Morales. This revolutionary autobiography is experimental in both form and content, containing poems, stories, journals, reportage and so forth. It is not clearly categorized in terms of genre, it does not defy any one culture or language and it presents a sense of place rooted in multiple places. The voices of mother and daughter fuse into one, together with the voices of all their ancestors. The multiple sensitivities of both women, products of multidirectional migrations, ethnicities, cultures, languages and classes are symbolized in their grounding of themselves at a crossroads which embraces a relational collective identity, wholeness and choice, while rejecting fragmentation or alienation. Keywords: hybridity; sense of place; multiple sensitivities; migrations; identity; cosmopolitanism . Arraigarse en el cruce: Getting Home Alive de Aurora Levins Morales y Rosario Morales Este artículo analiza algunas de las múltiples dimensiones de hibridación en el texto Getting Home Alive (1986), escrito por las portorriqueñas Aurora Levins Morales y Rosario Morales. Esta autobiografía revolucionaria es experimental tanto en cuestiones de forma como de contenido, al incluir poemas, relatos, diarios y reportajes, entre otros. Se resiste a una tipificación de género literario al igual que rechaza una cultura o lengua única y reafirma un sentido de arraigo en múltiples lugares.
