Visit our website www.bronxhistoricalsociety.org 1 FROM PUERTO RICO TO FRANCE TO THE SOUTH BRONX: RAFAEL HERNÁNDEZ AND HIS LEGACY IN THE BRONX by Elena Martínez Rafael Hernández was a prolific composer of the popular music of his day, such as boleros (romantic ballads) and guarachas (up-tempo humorous anecdotal songs), styles that originated in Cuba. He took those genres and created melodies and lyrics that pertained to his homeland, thereby giving them a distinct Puerto Rican voice. Today he is considered not just the greatest Puerto Rican composer, but one of the best in Latin America, because many of his songs, such as the anthem, Lamento Borincano, a lament about a poor farmer who can’t sell his goods, resonated throughout the region.

    ANIMAL USE AND COMMUNITY IN PRE-COLUMBIAN PUERTO RICO: ZOOARCHAEOLOGY OF THE RÍO PORTUGUÉS By GEOFFREY R. DUCHEMIN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2013 1 © 2013 Geoffrey R. DuChemin 2 To my girls: Michelle, Emma, and Bella 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There are so many people who helped me during the long process of researching and writing this dissertation that I fear I could never remember them all. First, I need to express my utmost gratitude to Dr. Susan deFrance, my graduate advisor, dissertation committee chair, teacher, and mentor. I have her to thank for giving me the opportunity to pursue a higher education. Susan went above and beyond her advisory role, continuously offering her support and advice. She served as my advocate, leading me towards quality research opportunities. I thank her for her patience and guidance as I wrote (and rewrote) this dissertation. I also thank my other dissertation committee members, Drs. Michael Moseley, William Keegan, and ecologist, Brian Silliman. Dr. Moseley showed me that the one of the best ways to learn is in a friendly environment—and maybe over a few beers. He has been a continuous source of advice and inspiration during my years at UF. Bill Keegan introduced me to Caribbean archaeology, and encouraged me to challenge established ideas—and to develop alternate perspectives on Caribbean prehistory. I also thank Bill for always being available to offer advice, read and comment on drafts, and point me toward new and important literature.
