Set against the backdrop of contemporary US economic history,
Puerto Rico Is in the Heart examines the emigration, labor, and
political experiences of documentary photographer, human rights
activist, and Puerto Rican community leader Frank Espada. The
first-ever chronicle of Frank Espada's life and work, this book
also considers the socioeconomic and cultural impact of neoliberal
programs directed at Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans - early
"proto-neoliberal" policies and reforms that would have broad
implications for Latinos generally and would become the economic
and political templates for Chile, Central America, and other
free-trade zones. Edward J. Carvalho draws on interview testimony
from Frank Espada, historical and cultural data from his Puerto
Rican Diaspora Project, and the writing of Frank Espada's son, the
renowned poet Martin Espada, to present Frank's story of struggle,
survival, and human dignity.
