My analysis considers methods of resistance condensed in particular allocutions -- la brega, "queerness," and jaibería -- used by a subject or community to negotiate its relationship to political, economic, cultural, and social paradigms dictated by a colonial status quo as a vehicle for surviving and prospering within a hostile system. I situate the tension between collective narratives propagated by dominant interests within Puerto Rican society and subsequent disruptive counter and alternative narratives as the locus of a convoluted identity that allows for shifting loyalties. Finally, these essays embody a vital dialogue between generations and sites of enunciation: the island and its diaspora. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Centro Journal is the property of Centro de Estudios Puertorriquenos (Center for Puerto Rican Studies) and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
