Cuba and Puerto Rico

Overview
The intertwined stories of two archipelagos and their
diasporas
This volume is the first systematic comparative study of Cuba
and Puerto Rico from both a historical and contemporary
perspective. In these essays, contributors highlight the
interconnectedness of the two archipelagos in social categories
such as nation, race, class, and gender to encourage a more nuanced
and multifaceted study of the relationships between the islands and
their diasporas.
Topics range from historical and anthropological perspectives on
Cuba and Puerto Rico before and during the Cold War to cultural and
sociological studies of diasporic communities in the United States.
The volume features analyses of political coalitions, the formation
of interisland sororities, and environmental issues. Along with
sharing a similar early history, Cuba and Puerto Rico have closely
intertwined cultures, including their linguistic, literary, food,
musical, and religious practices. Contributors also discuss
literature by Cuban and Puerto Rican authors by examining the
aesthetics of literary techniques and discourses, the
representation of psychological space on the stage, and the impacts
of migration.
Showing how the trajectories of both archipelagos have been
linked together for centuries and how they have diverged recently,
Cuba and Puerto Rico offers a transdisciplinary approach
to the study of this intricate relationship and the formation of
diasporic communities and continuities.
