Solidarity Across the Americas: The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party and Antiimperialism
12 Jun 2023, 15:00 – 16:30
Anti-imperialist solidarity with Puerto Rican independence and the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party extended from New York City to Buenos Aires from the 1920s through the 1950s. This presentation examines the multiple expressions of this solidarity and explores what compelled so many people, organizations, and governments to call for an end to U.S. colonial rule of Puerto Rico.
The convenors would like to acknowledge the collaboration and support of UCL Institute of Advanced Studies in the organisation of this event.
