Multiculturalism as a means for counterhegemonic measures., Jun 25 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Divided Borders: Essays on Puerto Rican Identity (Paperback)
Juan Flores, using an exquisite prose, treats us throuh a series of separate essays dialectically united about the puertorrican culture and identity "crisis". The book is a firm statement against cultural nationalism, cultural "hispanofilia", and other purist visions inside the puertorrican culture context. It extends the puertorrican culture to those living in the states, taking as close case of study the ones living in New York. More than mere and engaging exposition, it proposes or tries to show us the headings the latinos should address in a counterhegemonic struggle against mainstream(in it's rigidest form) culture in the U. S.
