From F ray Íñigo Abad y la Sierra’s 1788 book to Paul G. Miller’s Historia de Puerto Rico in the early 20th century\, the production of history has s erved different political purposes. This lecture will explore the ways tha t history teaching and writing gave way to racialized tropes of Puerto Ric an docility and laziness. More recently\, however\, the state has moved to silence or erase the past through Puerto Rico’s “politics of forgetti ng.” The talk ends with the ways that these ideas are being challenged b y artists and cultural producers\, specifically focusing in the impact of Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FoTOS.\n\nSponsors: Círculo Hispanoamerica no de Charleston\, the Department of Hispanic Studies and the Program in L atin American and Caribbean Studies.\n\n \n\nFree and open to the public! Lecture will be in English\, followed by a reception.
