Our Nuyorican Thing (eBook, ePUB)

The Birth of A Self-Made Identity

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What is a "e;Nuyorican"e;? And what does it mean? Poet, writer and activist Samuel Diaz Carrion explores this question and more in OUR NUYORICAN THING, THE BIRTH OF A SELF-MADE IDENTITY. What started out as blog correspondence for the Nuyorican Poets Cafe's website (2001-2004), quickly turned into a cultural exchange about the Cafe and Puerto Rican culture. OUR NUYORICAN THING is a compendium of those blog entries and emails that also includes Diaz Carrion's poetry seen through the eyes of a "e;Puerto Rican Indiana Jones"e; who has quietly studied "e;the trade route of a new language . . . collecting poetry and stories as the artifacts of the day."e; This collection is riveting, informative and delightful, and will satisfy any reader with an appetite for cross-cultural discussions.
