Puerto Rico's colonial relationship with the United States and its
history of intermixture of native, African, and Spanish inhabitants
has prompted inconsistent narratives about race and power in the
colonial territory. Departing from these accounts, early
twentieth-century writers, journalists, and activists scrutinized
both Puerto Rico's and the United States's institutionalized racism
and colonialism in an attempt to spur reform, leaving an archive of
oft-overlooked political writings. In Seams of Empire, Carlos
Alamo-Pastrana uses racial imbrication as a framework for reading
this archive of little-known Puerto Rican, African American, and
white American radicals and progressives, both on the island and
the continental U.S. By addressing the concealed power relations
responsible for national, gendered, and class differences, this
method of textual analysis reveals key symbolic and material
connections between marginalized groups in both national spaces and
traces the complexity of race, racism, and conflict on the edges of
empire.
