SUMMARY:Celebrating Arlene Torres: Honoring a Legacy of Education
DESCRIPTION:Join us in celebrating Dr. Arlene Torres\, retiring associate professor in Africana\, Puerto Rican and Latino Studies (AFPRL) at Hunter College.

Dr. Torres is a cultural anthropologist with expertise in Caribbean\, Latina/Latino and Latin American Studies. Early on her scholarly work on the Americas and the Caribbean archipelago prompted her to study the impact of social inequality structurally and relationally over the long durée of history. Her groundbreaking edited volume\, Blackness in Latin America and the Caribbean (with Norman E. Whitten\, Jr.)\, is widely regarded in Latin American and Latinx Studies. Dr. Torres has mentored dozens of undergraduate and graduate students\, in addition to junior and midcareer faculty\, throughout the country. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP to join us in-person here:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP to join us virtually here:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage Credit: Photograph of Arlene Torres\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is made possible thanks to the generous support of the New York City Council.

SUMMARY:Cafecito con... Víctor Fragoso: ser islas
DESCRIPTION:Save the date for the official launch of the latest book released in the Diasporican Library collection of the CENTRO Press\, ser islas/being islands by Victor Fragoso and translated by Paul Orbuch! \n\n\n\nVictor Fragoso (1944-1982)\, a Puerto Rican writer\, made his mark in poetry\, playwriting\, and essays. His work traversed disciplines and boundaries\, leaving an indelible impact on the Puerto Rican and queer communities in New York and beyond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOriginally published in 1976\, this latest edition of ser islas/being islands delicately interwines images from Fragoso’s personal archival collections\, elegantly capturing the nostalgic and intimate nature of his work with new essays by Archivist Herbert Duran and Gustavo Quintero Vera. “In Fragoso\, the intimate and the political do not clash; there is a poiesis of encounter\, a queer gaze upon the always-queer experience of being human” (Ángel Antonio Ruiz Laboy). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here!
