Description

This dissertation provides an intellectual history of the ways that Blackness is configured and deployed during particular moments of political and social transformation or crisis in Puerto Rico. Using archival research and discourse analysis of political writings, speeches, public documents and popular literature, this project traces the intellectual and historical discourses where concerns about freedom, decolonization, bondage, and race merge to buttress and critique ideas about western colonialism and racial capital. Specifically, using the theoretical work of Cedric Robinson this study critically engages the work of Jose Celso Barbosa, African American journalists, social scientists at the University of Puerto Rico, and contemporary urban development projects that peddle cultural heritage/patrimony/history to expose the island's racial regime. In other words, Disrupting Declamations of Freedom unveils the ways in which race is proposed, although not openly, as justification for the relations of power on the island. Such an analysis allows for an uncovering of multiple projects about race and politics that complicate prevailing interpretations of the effects of U.S. based racial politics on the island. While Black Puerto Ricans and discourses about Blackness have certainly been marginalized in Puerto Rico, this state sanctioned and intellectual marginalization is not easily enacted nor is it fixed. Ultimately, Disrupting Declamations of Freedom uncovers how this marginalization, distortion or erasure is invented, understood and deployed across 20 th and 21st century Puerto Rico.
