Radical Contexts: Puerto Rican Politics in the 1960s and 1970s and the Center for Puerto Rican Studies

Abstract

"Rooted in the radical political context of the late 1960s and 1970s, this historiography suggests that the Center for Puerto Rican Studies, which was founded in 1973, created another radical context by providing a physical space, alternative approaches, and support for scholarship that laid the foundation for Puerto Rican Studies as a field of research today. The dialogue between these two radical contexts-the Puerto Rican movement and the Center for Puerto Rican Studies' early scholarship-suggests four critical dimensions for studying Puerto Rican politics: the historical trajectory of Puerto Rican politics in the States; the political context of the era; the continuing colonial relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico; and groups' internal dynamics and broader identity politics."
