COLONIAL CAPITALISM -- CRISIS AND RESPONSE IN PUERTO RICO

For more than a century, Puerto Rico’s economy has served as a kind of experiment in what we today call neoliberalism. Join us for a discussion of the economic, social, and cultural impact of colonial capitalism on Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans both here and on the island, and a celebration of the release of the latest NACLA Report, which features work by Rafael Bernabe; Michael González-Cruz; Ana López; Jan Susler; Angelo Falcón; Cándida Cotto; Frances Negrón-Muntaner; and Raquel Rivera.

Featuring:

Pablo Morales, Editor, NACLA Report on the Americas
Cesar F. Rosado Marzan, former attorney for Local 6 of UNITE-HERE and Visiting Scholar at Chicago-Kent College of Law
Angelo Falcon, President of the National Institute for Latino Policy
and Raquel Rivera, author, “New York Ricans from the Hip-Hop Zone” and editor, “Reading Reggaeton.”
