Although an emphasis has been given to the Puerto Rican life in the island it is important that the readings and the students experiences encourage a reflection about the life of Puerto Ricans in the United States. Most importantly, Puerto Ricans in the mainland have been contributors in the areas of art, literature, music, sports, science, technology, and more. The following themes are suggested in implementing this curriculum. Each addresses a particular aspect of the Puerto Rican experience.
-
I. Brief History of Puerto Rico
-
II. On becoming bilingual and bicultural
-
III. La guagua aerea
-
IV. The African connection
-
V. Grasping to maintain an identity
