Initially, both supporters and opponents of Puerto Rican independence promoted the assimilation of fellow migrants as white citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-night-long Division Street Riots marked a fundamental pivot point in 1966, ending the pursuit of whiteness and opening the door to waves of nationalist militancy during the 1970s. By the 1980s and 1990s, Puerto Rican nationalists in Chicago had entered electoral politics, building a broader notion of Latinidad even as they softened its radical edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on an extraordinary array of archival material, much of it previously inaccessible, Michael Staudenmaier highlights cultural and political projects profoundly informed by nationalist sentiments, from beauty pageants and parades to protests and bombings to elections and legal battles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRevealing how nationalism became a key site of racial formation for Puerto Ricans in Chicago, \u003cem\u003eWhite, Black, Brown\u003c\/em\u003e shows how they understood themselves and demanded to be seen by their neighbours and the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47934426317036,"sku":"9781469689265","price":109.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781469689265-white-black-brown.jpg?v=1783918564","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/white-black-brown-by-michael-staudenmaier-9781469689265","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
