Puerto Rican Renaissance

The Puerto Rican Renaissance refers to a period of vibrant cultural, artistic, and intellectual revival on the island, primarily during the early 20th century. It marked a renewed pride in Puerto Rican identity, with a surge of literature, music, visual arts, and academic work that celebrated and explored the island's history, culture, and heritage. This movement helped define modern Puerto Rican identity and gained international recognition, fostering a sense of community and cultural autonomy during a time of significant social and political change.
