| Research Abstract |
In Puerto Rico,
1)the women started to keep their distance from the divisive political issue of the island's status as a US territory when they united to address women's issues. This has caused the established Puerto Rican parties to rethink their politics and also has accelerated the argument objectively about the island's political status.
2)Also, the women supported the protest movement against the US base in the island Viequez crossing established political lines.
3)Meanwhile, in the US, the influence of Puerto Rican women is felt in grass roots movements and in women of color movements. They have added their Latina perspective to the mainly white middle class American feminist movement. Also, with their different circumstances and concerns, they are a new addition to the Puerto Rican national identity and political frame.
Both on the island and in the mainland US, Puerto Ricans are creating a new paradigm in politics in which colonialism is no longer the pivot around which all politics revolves. This is not only true in Puerto Rican society but in the larger US society where issues of race and ethnicity are moving beyond black and white. Puerto Ricans are contributing to this expanded and more nuanced discussion of minority issues.
Their movement is growing rapidly in the group of minorities in sovereign nations and in feminism on the outskirts of a sovereign nation. We can recognize the case of Puerto Rican women as one of postcolonial feminism.
