The Puerto Rican blueprint -- Dispatches from the colonial outpost -- The living negro in Latin America -- The republic of the penniless -- You are here to listen.

Using his ideas of racial imbrication (an approach that discerns overlapping layers of racism, colonialism, and exploitation), Alamo highlights the reasons and ways that many Puerto Ricans were marginalized in what has generally been perceived as a progressive space, and he looks at how the island gave American blacks and progressive whites a less restrictive place to generate interest in black radicalism.
