In a moment when histories of marginalized peoples are being deliberately erased—alongside the ongoing erasure of Black Puerto Ricans—this webinar dives into a special issue of the CENTRO Journal offering a multidisciplinary approach to thinking about Black Puerto Rican pasts, presents, and futures.
Join moderator Dr. Essah Diaz, and panelists Dr. Daniel Morales-Armstrong, Dr. Milagros Denis-Rosario, and Dr. Isar Godreau, as we dive into the Spring 2025 CENTRO Journal Water Proof: Olas de Memoria, guest edited by members of the Black Puerto Rican collective Taller Entre Aguas.
Water Proof: Olas de Memoria elevates and invites scholars of Afro-Puerto Rican history and memory to remind readers that we are part of a Black intellectual tradition of cimarronaje (marronage) and world-making. Throughout this collection, we expand on “Black Rican studies” as a subfield that adjoins Puerto Rican studies to broader discourses in Africana (Black studies in the US and in the larger diaspora) and Caribbean studies.
