Sinopsis
Provides firsthand accounts of militant Puerto
Rican activists in 1970s New York City. In
this book Rose Muzio analyzes how structural and
historical factors8212inluding colonialism,
economic marginalization, racial discrimination,
and the Black and Brown Power movements of the
1960s8212inluenced young Puerto Ricans to
reject mainstream ideas about political
incorporation and join others in struggles
against perceived injustices. This analysis
provides the first in-depth account of the
origins, evolution, achievements, and failures of
El Comit233Movimiento de Izquierda Nacional
Puertorrique241o one of the main organizations
of the Puerto Rican Left in the 1970s in New York
City. El Comit233fought for bilingual
education programs in public schools, for access
to quality jobs and higher education, and
against health care budget cuts. The organization
mobilized support nationally and internationally
to end the US Navy8217soccupation of Vieques,
denounced colonial rule in Puerto Rico, and
opposed US aid to authoritarian regimes in Latin
America and Africa. Muzio bases her project on
dozens of interviews with participants as well as
archival documents and news coverage, and shows
how a radical, counterhegemonic political
perspective evolved organically, rather than as a
product of a priori ideology.
