Notes

Abstract: Puerto Rico is one of the oldest colonies in the world. Perhaps because it has been through a history of colonialism, post-colonialism, and post-colonial colonialism, it makes for a fascinating story to tell and explore. In proceeding with this research, I was interested in Puerto Rico’s unique status as a commonwealth and its quasi-colonial relations to the United States in a postmodern context. My initial interest in these questions shifted to a concern about Puerto Rican identity in the United States. In particular, I wanted to explore the diverse experiences of Puerto Rican women. Through reading different stories by Latina writers about Latina narratives in the United States, I realized how important these stories are in feminist discourse. I was attracted to comparing these fictional stories with real-life women and their experiences. In gaining a better understanding of the feminist and Puerto Rican discourse available, I was hoping to uncover the cultural, economic, and political factors of why Puerto Ricans are at a crossroads concerning their national identity.
