The question of citizenship is at the root of many discussions about the U.S. Territories and other nations that have been molded by empire. This panel looks beyond discourses of “equality” and citizenship and instead addresses the complexities of existing between multiple nation states and diasporas. What does it mean to go home? What does it mean to be able to work and live where your own national sovereignty isn’t recognized? Panelists will speak on these issues and more, looking at the specific circumstances of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Marshall Islands, and the Philippines.
Founded in 1973 by a coalition of students, faculty, and activists, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter College (CENTRO) is the largest university-based research institute, library, and archive dedicated to the Puerto Rican experience in the United States.
