Reframing the Practice of Philosophy
This daring and bold book is the first to create a textual space where African American and Latin American philosophers voice the complex range of their philosophical and meta-philosophical concerns, approaches, and visions. The voices within this book protest and theorize from their own standpoints, delineating the specific existential, philosophical, and professional problems they face as minority philosophical voices.

From American Empire to América Cósmica Through Philosophy
This book examines points of meaningful affinity as well as contention and misrecognition between philosophical traditions of the Americas. Using Rodó’s metaphors from The Tempest, it reflects on the perils and possibilities for Inter-American philosophy as an established historical fact, a form of propaganda, or as a legitimate aspiration.
Eating Puerto Rico
Available for the first time in English, Cruz Miguel Ortiz Cuadra's magisterial history of the foods and eating habits of Puerto Rico unfolds into an examination of Puerto Rican society from the Spanish conquest to the present. Each chapter is centered on an iconic Puerto Rican foodstuff, from rice and cornmeal to beans, roots, herbs, fish, and meat. Ortiz shows how their production and consumption connects with race, ethnicity, gender, social class, and cultural appropriation in Puerto Rico. Using a multidisciplinary approach and a sweeping array of sources, Ortiz asks whether Puerto Ricans really still are what they ate. Whether judging by a host of social and economic factors--or by the foods once eaten that have now disappeared--Ortiz concludes that the nature of daily life in Puerto Rico has experienced a sea change.

Historia de la Literatura PuertorriqueÑa a TravÉs de Sus Revistas Literarias
En la Historia de la literatura puertorriqueña a través de sus revistas literarias (2010), Jiménez Benítez aborda desde una perspectiva diferente el devenir histórico de nuestra literatura nacional. El lector encontrará apuntes sobre el periodismo literario en Puerto Rico durante los siglos XIX, XX y XXI. Pero el eje medular será el estudio de las revistas que nos va llevando por todo el proceso histórico de la literatura puertorriqueña: sus movimientos, tendencias, generaciones de autores y sus obras. El libro está dirigido a resaltar la importancia de las revistas literarias, como hilo de Ariadna, para descubrir así el hacer literario y crítico del país.
Volviendo al Caribe
Este ensayo plantea históricos y actuales debates sobre el Caribe como región. La autora se pregunta por qué la plantación sigue siendo la explicación identitaria predominante. Asimismo, se hace el cuestionamiento de si la integración caribeña, a pesar de décadas de esfuerzos, sigue siendo una utopía. El libro también es un viaje por el Caribe insular y continental con el propósito de conocer mejor sus entrañas, sus misterios y sus realidades. Travesías realizadas de varias maneras. La primera es a través de sus libros y sus autores. De esta manera conoceremos mejor, por ejemplo, a Martinica y la obra de uno de sus grandes creadores: Eduard Glissant. Y viajes directos, personales en los cuales la autora es una observadora participante en el Caribe colombiano, de Cuba y de Haití, solo para mencionar algunos.
Estudios de Filosofía Latinoamericana
La presente obra reúne una serie de ensayos, artículos, conferencias, presentaciones de libros y reseñas redactados en los últimos tres años. No es una obra sistemática, ni histórico-cronológica, sino una selección de intervenciones públicas tanto en Puerto Rico como en otras áreas del Caribe hispano. Es más bien testimonio de mi presencia en la cultura filosófica de nuestra región caribeña. Si hay mayor número de ensayos sobre autores puertorriqueños es porque mi presencia en este querido país me hace propicio a intervenir públicamente en muchas actividades. Pero también hago un acto de justicia a la cultura de Puerto Rico, porque con frecuencia es olvidada en nuestros medios latinoamericanos. Carlos Rojas Osorio
