About this Event

This panel examines how Boricua identities take shape across racialized landscapes of migration and settlement. Moving from Afro-Nuyorican poetics and linguistic struggle in New York City to overlooked labor histories in Utah, presenters trace how diaspora exceeds the nation-form and unsettles dominant archives. Together, these works explore relation as lived practice—through language, errantry, education, and survival—while confronting the silences that structure historical record-keeping.
