Coda.This book is a manifesto-like consideration of the potentialities of radical political thought and action in contemporary Puerto Rico. Framed within the context of the present economic crisis, of austerity measures, PROMESA and mass migration, this book engages recent literary, artistic and activist work on the island in order to highlight the manners in which such work—however precarious, innocuous and/or fleeting—fosters hope among audiences, artists, protesters and onlookers alike for a more egalitarian and just society. Autoethnographically grounded, informal in tone, and with an eye toward intersectionality, this book serves as a unique contribution to the field of Puerto Rican Studies, by offering alternate points of departure for emergent theorizing and intellectual production across academic disciplines.New Caribbean Studies,2691-3011Latin American literatureLiterature, Modern—20th centuryLiterature, Modern—21st centuryLatin American/Caribbean Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838010Contemporary Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000Latin American literature.Literature, Modern—20th century.Literature, Modern—21st century.Latin American/Caribbean Literature.Contemporary Literature.338.97295Rebollo Gil Guillermoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut964633BOOK9910300035103321Writing Puerto Rico2188572UNINA
