Puerto Rican Studies

Puerto Rican Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the history, culture, society, and politics of Puerto Rico and its people, both on the island and in diaspora. It examines topics like colonialism, identity, migration, language, and the economic challenges faced by Puerto Ricans. This field draws from various disciplines, including history, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, to provide a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be Puerto Rican and the complexities of the island's relationship with the United States and the world.
