Book Reviews of Boricuas: Influential Puerto Rican Writings - An Anthology
Book Review: Boricuas ....the influence
Summary: 4 Stars
This book definitely takes an independance view on the US versus PR. I know that there has been and still problems between the two countries since 1898, however, a lot of the accounts come from those who really never have lived on the island. I can say there is a distinct difference between those that do and don't when talking about attitude and opinions. Things are difficult here and there is surely something to be said about the struggle of Puerto Ricans growing up and living in the US as well. I enjoy hearing about stories growing up in EL Barrio. However, apart from A. Campo, I think when commenting about life on the island people need to have a good insight and have experienced it before they can criticize something they think they understand.
Summary of Boricuas: Influential Puerto Rican Writings - An Anthology
MANY CULTURES * ONE WORLD"Boricua is what Puerto Ricans call one another as a term of endearment, respect, and cultural affirmation; it is a timeless declaration that transcends gender and color. Boricua is a powerful word that tells the origin and history of the Puerto Rican people."
--From the Introduction
From the sun-drenched beaches of a beautiful, flamboyan-covered island to the cool, hard pavement of the fierce South Bronx, the remarkable journey of the Puerto Rican people is a rich story full of daring defiance, courageous strength, fierce passions, and dangerous politics--and it is a story that continues to be told today. Long ignored by Anglo literature studies, here are more than fifty selections of poetry, fiction, plays, essays, monologues, screenplays, and speeches from some of the most vibrant and original voices in Puerto Rican literature.
