Puerto Rico's beautiful beaches are an integral part of Puerto Rican life. They form a ring of pleasure that encircles the whole island — an escape valve. And they're one of the few places that are truly public. At least, that's what the law says. Yet in practice, that stretch of land where the water meets the shore is the most contested space in all of Puerto Rico. And it's rapidly disappearing, due to development and coastal erosion. In “Olas y Arenas,” Sylvia Rexach plays the role of the sand: she sings longingly for the ebb and flow of the sea, yearning for the waves that never quite reach her. The bolero is a classic unrequited love song, and our final episode of the season takes place in that same eternal tide. We explore the push and pull between lifelong residents and real estate developers, amidst the rapidly changing coastline, the rising tide, and the elusive letter of the law.

Las hermosas playas de Puerto Rico son una parte integral de la vida puertorriqueña. Las costas forman un anillo de placer que rodea toda la isla, una válvula de escape. Y son uno de los pocos espacios que son verdaderamente públicos. Al menos, eso es lo que dice la ley. En la práctica, sin embargo, esa franja de tierra donde el agua se encuentra con la orilla es la zona más disputada de todo Puerto Rico. Y está desapareciendo rápidamente debido al desarrollo y la erosión costera. En "Olas y arenas", Sylvia Rexach desempeña el papel de la arena: ella le canta con nostalgia al flujo y el reflujo del mar, anhelando por las olas que nunca llegan a tocarla. Este bolero clásico es una canción de amor no correspondido, y nuestro último episodio de la temporada tiene lugar en esa misma eterna marea. Exploramos el tira y afloje entre los residentes de toda la vida y los desarrolladores inmobiliarios, en medio de la costa que cambia rápidamente, la marea creciente y una ley escrita que se esquiva.

For over a century, Puerto Rican musicians have been influential across the hemisphere. From the Harlem Hellfighters of WWI who helped develop jazz to the reggaetoneros who dominate today's charts, Puerto Rican music is everywhere. We start the season with the island's most celebrated composer Rafael Hernandez, who wrote beloved songs like “Lamento Borincano,” “Ahora Seremos Felices,” and “Perfume de Gardenias” – and one of the island's unofficial anthems, “Preciosa.” It's a love song written for Puerto Rico that praises the island's beauty and, remarkably, also calls out the forces that oppress it. When Bad Bunny exploded onto the scene and became the most-streamed artist in the history of the world, it became undeniable that Puerto Rican lyrics – the poetry of what people sing about, the bregas in every chorus – resonate all over the hemisphere. In September, he put out a music video for his hit “El Apagón,” (“The Blackout,”) which then turned into a mini-documentary about gentrification – the way people from the states are taking advantage of tax benefits and displacing Boricuas. It's called “Aqui Vive Gente" ("People Live Here"). “El Apagón,” has become somewhat of an anthem – an installment in the long tradition of Puerto Ricans singing about home, longing and belonging, popularized by Rafael Hernandez. But Bad Bunny isn't singing about yearning for Puerto Rico – his music is often about never even leaving in the first place. It's about staying, and creating a future for Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico. If the video's Youtube comments – declarations of solidarity – are any indication, his music has touched on something deeply relatable across Latin America. Learn more about the voices in this episode: • Myzo, the singer from the plane • Bobby Sanabria, Grammy-nominated bandleader and educator • Elena Martínez, folklorist at City Lore and the Bronx Music Heritage Center • Watch Marc Anthony's performance of “Preciosa” • Watch Bianca Graulau's documentary “Aquí Vive Gente” (“People Live Here”) Our cover of “Preciosa” is by the artist Xenia Rubinos (out in April).

Plaza Las Américas no es un centro comercial cualquiera: ir allí, "pa' Plaza", es una experiencia muy boricua l. Los jóvenes viven sus primeras citas; las personas mayores se reúnen y disfrutan del aire acondicionado; puedes renovar tu pasaporte, vacunarte y comprar un automóvil eléctrico en una sola visita. ¡El Papa incluso dio misa en el estacionamiento! Este mall – que tiene las tres velas de Colón como logo – es como una catedral del consumo , con sus anchos pasillos y brillantes fuentes. También es el segundo centro comercial más grande de Latinoamérica y el más grande del Caribe. Inclusive, se dice que para saber cómo está la economía de la isla, solo hay que ver cuán lleno está el estacionamiento de Plaza. Si bien los centros comerciales de Puerto Rico han sido espacios del capitalismo dominante, también han sido incubadoras de la contracultura. Tanto es así que uno de los primeros clásicos del reguetón, "Vamos pa' Plaza" de Baby Rasta y Gringo, se trata literalmente de estar allí: recorren Footlocker y Gap, conocen a algunas chicas y simplemente... pasan el rato. El periodista puertorriqueño Joel Cintrón Arbasetti trabajó en Plaza - fue uno de sus primeros trabajos. Y aunque se sintió atraído al lugar por las imágenes de la canción de Baby Rasta y de Gringo, rápidamente aprendió que la realidad no era tan glamorosa. Él y el equipo de La Brega pasan un día en Plaza Las Américas, conociendo a personas que reflejan los desafíos de Puerto Rico y que están allí para mucho más que ir de compras. Aprende más sobre las voces de este episodio:  • Rubén Dávila Santiago, profesor, Universidad de Puerto Rico, escribió El Mall: del mundo al paraíso• Mira un video sobre el discurso de Luis Muñoz Marin en el parking de Plaza• Mira la misa del Papa en Plaza Escucha nuestra lista de reproducción de Spotify, con música de este episodio y de esta temporada.

Plaza Las Americas is not any mall — going there, “Pa Plaza,” is a quintessential boricua experience. Young people experience first dates; old people gather and enjoy the air conditioning; you can renew your passport, get vaccinated, and buy an electric car in a single visit. The Pope even gave mass in the parking lot! This mall that has Columbus' three sails as its logo is like a cathedral to consumerism, with its wide corridors, and glittering fountains. It's also the second biggest mall in Latin America, and the largest in the Caribbean. Some people even say that to know how the island's economy is doing, one need only see how full the parking lot at Plaza is.  While Puerto Rico's malls have been vessels of mainstream capitalism, they've also been incubators of the counterculture. So much so that an early reggaeton classic – Baby Rasta and Gringo's “Vamos Pa' Plaza” – is literally about being there: they cruise through Footlocker and Gap, meet some girls, and just… hang out. Puerto Rican journalist Joel Cintron Arbasetti worked at Plaza - it was one of his first jobs. And while he was drawn to the place by the swagger of Baby Rasta and Gringo's song, he quickly learned that the reality wasn't so glamorous. He and the La Brega team spend a day at Plaza Las Americas, meeting people who reflect Puerto Rico's challenges and are there for a lot more than shopping.

Durante más de un siglo, los músicos puertorriqueños han sido influyentes en todo el hemisferio. Desde el regimiento de los Harlem Hellfighters de la Primera Guerra Mundial, que ayudaron a desarrollar el jazz, hasta los reguetoneros que dominan las listas de los éxitos actuales, la música boricua está en todas partes. Empezamos la temporada con el compositor más celebrado de la isla, Rafael Hernández, quien escribió canciones amadas como "Lamento borincano", "Ahora seremos felices" y "Perfume de gardenias" - y uno de los himnos no oficiales de la isla, "Preciosa". Esta es una canción de amor escrita para Puerto Rico que alaba la belleza de la isla y, sorprendentemente, también señala a las fuerzas que la oprimen. Cuando Bad Bunny irrumpió en la escena y se convirtió en el artista más reproducido de la historia del mundo, se hizo incuestionable que las letras puertorriqueñas - la poesía de lo que la gente canta, las bregas en cada coro - resuenan por todo el hemisferio. En septiembre, el artista lanzó un video musical para su éxito "El apagón", que luego se convirtió en un mini documental, llamado “Aquí vive gente”, que es sobre la gentrificación: la forma en que la gente de los Estados Unidos se está aprovechando de los beneficios fiscales y desplazando a los boricuas. "El apagón" se ha convertido en algo así como un himno - que forma parte de la larga tradición de los puertorriqueños cantando sobre el hogar, el anhelo, la nostalgia y la pertenencia, popularizada por Rafael Hernández. Pero Bad Bunny no está cantando sobre anhelar a Puerto Rico, su música a menudo es sobre no irse nunca. Se trata de quedarse y crear un futuro para los puertorriqueños en la isla. Si los comentarios de Youtube del video - declaraciones de solidaridad - son una indicación, su música ha tocado algo profundamente relatable en toda Latinoamérica.

Throughout his career, the internationally renowned Haitian anthropologist Michel-Rolph Trouillot unsettled key concepts in anthropology, history, postcolonial studies, Black studies, Caribbean studies, and beyond. From his early critique of the West to the ongoing challenges he leveled at disciplinary and intellectual boundaries and formations, Trouillot centered the Caribbean as a site both foundational to the development of Western thought and critical to its undoing.  Trouillot Remixed: The Michel-Rolph Trouillot Reader (Duke UP, 2021) offers a representative cross section of his work that includes his most famous writings and lesser-known and harder-to-find texts essential to his oeuvre. Encouraging readers to engage with Trouillot's scholarship in new ways, this collection demonstrates the breadth of his writing, his enduring influence on Caribbean studies, and his relevance to politically engaged scholarship more broadly.

Ding dong! In this week's episode, Alyssa and Brendane are talking about sovereignty, non-sovereignty, and the death of the sovereign Queen Elizabeth II to ask whether it's possible (and desirable!) to leave the past behind while creating our collective future. (CW: rape, sexual assault 1:05:00- 1:16:00) What's the Word? Sovereignty. Defined as autonomy, freedom from external control, sovereignty is typically considered a positive. Brendane and Alyssa unpack the ways the concept is also rooted in power and domination. What We're Reading. Non-Sovereign Futures: French Caribbean Politics in the Wake of Disenchantment by Yarimar Bonilla. Bonilla examines how contemporary activists in Guadeloupe imagine and contest the limits of postcolonial sovereignty, challenging us rethink our received ideas about freedom, independence, nationalism, and revolution, and our commitment to sovereignty itself. What In The World?! In this segment, we discuss the death of Queen Elizabeth II and why Alyssa has complicated feelings about it; why turning to past values (that never existed) is evidence of crisis; the problem with Jeremy O. Harris' Slave Play, Bridgerton, and The Courtship; and whether you can really have love under racial or patriarchal domination. Listen to the exclusive Patreon content! Check out our new merch!

This episode focuses on the special relationship between New York City and Puerto Rico, via the tales of pioneros, the first migrants to make the city their home and the many hundreds of thousands who came to the city during the great migration of the 1950s and 60s. Today there are more Puerto Ricans and people of Puerto Rican descent in New York City than in any other city in the nation — save for San Juan, Puerto Rico. And it has been so for decades. By the late 1960s, hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans lived in New York City, but in a metropolis of deteriorating infrastructure and financial woe, they often found themselves at the lowest rung of the socio-economic ladder, in poverty-stricken neighborhoods.Puerto Rican poets and artists associated with the Nuyorican Movement, activated by the needs of their communities, began looking back to their origins, asking questions.In this special episode Greg is joined by several guests to look at the stories of Puerto Ricans from the 1890s until the early 1970s. With a focus on the origin stories of New York's great barrios -- including East Harlem, the Lower East Side and the South Bronx.FEATURING The origin of the Puerto Rican flag and the first bodegas in New York City!WITH Dr. Yarimar Bonilla and Carlos Vargas-Ramos of CUNY's Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (CENTRO), Kat Lloyd and Pedro Garcia of the Tenement Museum and Angel Hernandez of the Huntington Free Library and Reading Room and the Webby Award winning podcast Go Bronx.

Se fue con su mamá a Estados Unidos a los cinco años, volvió unos años después y, otra vez, al poco  tiempo, regresó a Estados Unidos a hacer estudios graduados. Hoy es la directora interina del Centro de Estudios Puertorriqueños del Hunter College de la Universidad de la Ciudad de Nueva York , la institución que con más consistencia y ahínco ha estudiado la experiencia de la diáspora puertorriqueña en Estados Unidos.

There's a proposal in Congress to put questions of statehood and representation to the people of Puerto Rico. But in thinking about its future, we must reckon with its colonial present. On Today's Show:Alana Casanova-Burgess, host of La Brega, and reporter and producer for WNYC's On the Media, and Yarimar Bonilla, professor of Puerto Rican Studies and Anthropology at the City University of New York, monthly columnist at El Nuevo Día, and incoming director of the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College, talk about how Puerto Ricans are weighing the many options for a new political future of the island.

The series uses narrative storytelling and investigative journalism to reflect and reveal how la brega has defined so many aspects of life in Puerto Rico, and is available in English and Spanish. This is episode seven. Puerto Rico’s relationship with the United States has long been a subject of intense debate. In 1952, Puerto Rico adopted a new status that was meant to decolonize the island. In English, we call it a “Commonwealth.” In Spanish, it’s called “Estado Libre Asociado”, or ELA. Puerto Ricans were promised for decades that this unique status meant they had a special kind of sovereignty while maintaining ties to the US. Now, a series of recent crises on the island have led many to question that promise, and to use the word “colony” more and more. In this episode, political anthropologist and El Nuevo Día columnist Yarimar Bonilla looks for those who  still believe in the ELA, and asks what happens when a political project dies.

A conversation on the intersecting crises that have plagued Puerto Rico since Hurricane Maria and the communities organizing to rebuild. ---------------------------------------------------- Join Marisol LeBrón, Yarimar Bonilla, and Molly Crabapple for a conversation on the intersecting crises that have plagued Puerto Rico since Hurricane Maria in 2017, and the communities organizing to resist and rebuild. This event will include the premier of the new short film: "Aftershocks of Disaster," directed by Juan C. Dávila, and produced by Yarimar Bonilla. “Broad in scope, passionate, and urgent, Aftershocks is a necessary anthology of Puerto Ricans telling the story not just of Maria but of resistance to colonialism, austerity and disaster capitalism.” —Molly Crabapple Three years after Hurricane Maria hit, Puerto Ricans are still reeling from its effects and aftereffects. Aftershocks collects poems, essays and photos from survivors of Hurricane Maria detailing their determination to persevere. The concept of "aftershocks" is used in the context of earthquakes to describe the jolts felt after the initial quake, but no disaster is a singular event. Aftershocks of Disaster examines the lasting effects of hurricane Maria, not just the effects of the wind or the rain, but delving into what followed: state failure, social abandonment, capitalization on human misery, and the collective trauma produced by the botched response. Speakers: Yarimar Bonilla is the co-editor of Aftershocks of Disaster: Puerto Rico Before and After the Storm. She is a political anthropologist specializing in questions of sovereignty, citizenship, and race across the Americas. She has tracked these issues across a broad range of sites and practices including: postcolonial politics in the French Caribbean, the role of digital protest in the Black Lives Matter movement, the politics of the Trump presidency, the Puerto Rican statehood movement, and her current research, for which she was named a 2018 Carnegie Fellow, on the political, economic, and social aftermath of hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. Marisol LeBrón is is the co-editor of Aftershocks of Disaster: Puerto Rico Before and After the Storm and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mexican American and Latina/o Studies at the University of Texas at Austin. Her research and teaching focus on social inequality, policing, violence, and protest. She is the author of Policing Life and Death: Race, Violence, and Resistance in Puerto Rico, which examines the growth of punitive governance in contemporary Puerto Rico. Molly Crabapple is an artist and writer whose inspirations include Diego Rivera and Goya's The Disasters of War. She is the author of Brothers of the Gun, an illustrated collaboration with Syrian war journalist Marwan Hisham, which was a NY Times Notable Book and long-listed for the 2018 National Book Award. Her memoir, Drawing Blood, received global praise and attention. Her animated short film “A Message from the Future with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez” has been nominated for an Emmy award in the category of Outstanding News Analysis: Editorial and Opinion.Follow us to help support our work! ---------------------------------------------------- Order a copy of Aftershocks of Disasters, edited by Yarimar Bonilla and Marisol LeBrón: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1333-aftershocks-of-disaster Order Molly Crabapple's book, Brother of the Gun: https://bookshop.org/a/1039/9780399590627 Order Molly Crabapple's illustrated memoir, Drawing Blood: https://bookshop.org/a/1039/9780062797223 Watch the live event recording: https://youtu.be/W1PU46ihFR0 Buy books from Haymarket: www.haymarketbooks.org Follow us on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/haymarketbooks

La relación que tiene Puerto Rico con los Estados Unidos siempre ha sido un tema de debate intenso. En 1952, Puerto Rico adoptó un nuevo status que prometía descolonizar la isla. En inglés le llama “Commonwealth”. En español, lo llamamos Estado Libre Asociado, o ELA. Por décadas se le prometió a los boricuas que este estatus era único porque les brindaba una autonomía especial junto al beneficio de mantener lazos profundos con Estados Unidos.  Ahora, en medio de crisis tras crisis, más personas están cuestionando esa promesa y usando la palabra colonia para describir la relación política con Estados Unidos.  En este episodio, la antropóloga política y columnista de El Nuevo Día, Yarimar Bonilla busca a las personas que todavía creen en él ELA, mientras se pregunta, ¿qué pasa cuando muere un proyecto político?

Durante la última semana, en las principales ciudades de Estados Unidos se han producido algunos de los disturbios más serios de las últimas décadas, tras el asesinato del ciudadano negro George Floyd, a manos de un policía blanco. Como consecuencia de esto, el presidente Donald Trump ha amenazado con desplegar el ejército en las calles de ese país, algo que no ha ocurrido en generaciones. ¿Qué pasa en Estados Unidos, una sociedad que ha avanzado tanto en tantos sentidos, que no puede desenmarañarse del problema racial? Sobre eso hablamos hoy con la antropóloga política Yarimar Bonilla.

Marking the two year anniversary of Hurricane María making landfall in Puerto Rico, the September 2019 release of the anthology Aftershocks of Disaster: Puerto Rico Before and After the Storm (Haymarket Books, 2019) brings together a collective of artists, journalists, and scholars to reflect on the multiple disasters that have hit the island and how the people of Puerto Rico have responded. Marisol LeBrón and Yarimar Bonilla, the editors of the anthology, in their editor’s introduction foreground the history of Puerto Rico’s continual state failure. Social abandonment, capitalization, and collective trauma were not simply a result of María, but instead, María revealed the systemic failures of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Government. “Long before María, Puerto Rico was already suffering the effects of a prolonged economic recession, spiraling levels of debt, and deep austerity cuts to public resources,” wrote Bonilla and LeBrón (5). María and its aftermath was not only a disaster in itself but an aftershock of both colonialism and the financial crisis decades in the making. Aftershocks of Disaster offers poetry, theater, discussions about technology, photography, and other mediums as ways through which to produce and access knowledge about the multiple disasters before and after Hurricane María. Particularly inspiring are the discussions and critiques around notions of resistance, resiliency, and recovery on the archipelago. The anthology allows readers to imagine futures reliant on the self-determination of the people of Puerto Rico. As we find ourselves at the two year anniversary of Hurricane María and in the midst of more natural disasters in the Caribbean and the greater Atlantic Ocean, Aftershocks of Disaster will continue to serve as an epistemological and pedagogical tool for scholars.

The anthology allows readers to imagine futures reliant on the self-determination of the people of Puerto Rico. As we find ourselves at the two year anniversary of Hurricane María and in the midst of more natural disasters in the Caribbean and the greater Atlantic Ocean, Aftershocks of Disaster will continue to serve as an epistemological and pedagogical tool for scholars.

They are a historian of 20th-century issues of race, labor, (im)migration, surveillance, space, relational Ethnic Studies, and Latinx Studies. Their research focuses on the rise of federally-funded encampments (i.e., the concentration of populations) from the advent of the New Deal until post-WWII era. Their dissertation, “The Age of Encampment: Race, Surveillance, and the Power of Spatial Scripts, 1933-1975” reveals underlying continuities between the presence of threatening bodies and the increasing surveillance of these bodies in camps throughout the United States.

Puerto Rico vivió en este verano la primera revolución pacífica de su historia y la antropóloga Yarimar Bonilla, quien lleva tiempo estudiando las reacciones de los boricuas a las adversidades, estuvo ahí para atestiguarla de principio a fin. En esta edición de Torres Gotay Entrevista, Bonilla nos cuenta de dónde surgió este levantamiento popular, cuáles fueron sus características y, sobre todo, qué hay en el futuro de este movimiento orgánico que, en apenas unas semanas, transformó por completo la idea que los puertorriqueños tenemos de nosotros mismos.

No sabemos cómo, pero tuvimos una conversación de casi quince minutos dedicada a Bad Bunny con Yarimar Bonilla, antropóloga política y autora de la columna viral 'El conejo de todos los males'.

En este episodio especial de podcast conversamos con la antropóloga política y escritora Yarimar Bonilla sobre su trayectoria, intereses y observaciones sobre la cultura boricua dentro del contexto del colonialismo y el Caribe.

Analizamos qué pasará en Puerto Rico con los miles de millones que vienen para la recuperación, ante la realidad política y fiscal que vivimos. El análisis es exclusivo por una de las más reconocidas expertas en el tema, la periodista e investigadora Naomi Klein, y la antropóloga Yarimar Bonilla. Ambas analizan lo que sucede en Puerto Rico tras el huracán María, la política implementada, cómo se parece a la de otros lugares que han experimentado tragedias, y el rol de actores como los criptoempresarios y bonistas buitres en el proceso. Todo esto fue parte del foro que cubrimos desde New Jersey. Además, nuevas estadísticas oficiales de migración boricua, nuevas rutas para las lanchas a Vieques y Culebra, y otras noticias locales. A nivel internacional, seguimiento al tsunami de Indonesia, y elecciones en varios países.

Facing the criticism that nearly 3,000 people died in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, President Trump has claimed that the death toll was a fabrication by Democrats. Joining On The Media is Yarimar Bonilla, political anthropologist. She argues that Trump's lies could be an opportunity. Instead of allowing the president to drag the debate back to the basic facts of Maria, Bonilla says, Puerto Ricans and their allies could harness the attention for deeper understanding of how the island's problems do not begin or end with President Trump. 

La antropóloga puertorriqueña Yarimar Bonilla llega a dialogar sobre los traumas vividos en la Isla tras el paso de un evento climatológico “sin precedentes” y el caso de los boricuas al tener que lidiar con una respuesta a la emergencia de parte de las autoridades locales y federales ineficiente. La profesora habla del sentido de abandono vivido por los boricuas y las repercusiones en sus vidas.

We talk to Rutgers professor Dr. Yarimar Bonilla about the devastation in Puerto Rico and why the country's economic and political climate makes the recovery efforts particularly challenging. In Alabama, Republicans introduce us to a terrifying new weenie.

As overseas departments of France, the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique are frequently described as anomalies within the postcolonial Caribbean. Yet in reality, as Yarimar Bonilla argues in her new book Non-Sovereign Futures: French Caribbean Politics in the Wake of Disenchantment (University of Chicago Press, 2015), the majority of Caribbean states are in fact non-sovereign. Moreover, even for those nations that are nominally independent, their sovereignty is nonetheless continually compromised by the foreign influence that comes with globalization. Thus, the Caribbean as a whole is a region where non-sovereignty is the dominant political status, requiring alternative political frameworks that move beyond identifying sovereignty as the inevitable and necessary result of decolonization. Bonilla calls this process of imagining and testing out these new frameworks “non-sovereign politics.” Non-Sovereign Futures examines the emergence of non-sovereign politics through an ethnography of labor activists in Guadeloupe. Whereas union activists had explicitly nationalist agendas in the 1950s and 1960s, by the early 2000s, sovereignty was no longer the terrain on which activists made claims upon the state. Bonilla provides a compelling analysis of the ways that Guadeloupean labor activists disrupted island life through a series of labor and general strikes, engaged and shaped the historical legacies of slavery and emancipation, and transformed their own personal political selves. Though these activists frequently expressed disappointment with the results of these strikes, Bonilla insists that their true accomplishment was in imagining new possibilities for making claims upon the French state that were no longer bound to the unsatisfying question of sovereignty.
