| Abstract | This talk is based on a section of the book I’m writing, Juan Q. Citizen: Puerto Rican Migrants and the Politics of Citizenship in NYC, 1917-1970. The larger project takes the abstract question of citizenship, a preoccupation of political and policy history in the last decade, and turns it into a real analytical problem for social history: What did this central category of political status mean in everyday life, especially when that status was as complex and embattled as it was for Puerto Ricans--who seemed to remain, even as migrants in the metropole, colonial citizens? | en_US |
