Despite centuries of colonial exploitation, from Betances to Lolita- Puerto Rico has had a long and rich tradition of popular struggles for sovereignty. What can we learn about and from struggles for independence, self determination, and socialism in Borinquen?
Join us for a three-part course throughout the month of April as we explore the effects of colonialism on the island, demystify arguments for and against Puerto Rican statehood, and study revolutionary movements through the decades.
