This video is from Unit One of the Diasporican Educational Program.
The goal of this unit, Rethinking Puerto Rican Identity and Language, is that students understand that diaspora is not a fixed category nor a homogenizing identity, but a complicated process in which individuals are prompted to question limiting ideas about language and identity to make sense of themselves in a new context.
What does the Diasporican Educational Program offer?
A self-guided course teaching the social history of the Puerto Rican Diaspora throughout time across borders, language, identity, histories, and more.
