Mitos y evidencia histórica sobre las tunas y estudiantinas

Ortiz shows how their production and consumption connects with race, ethnicity, gender, social class, and cultural appropriation in Puerto Rico.

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.

It contains not only philosophers but teachers of science, political theorists, historians, and artists.
