Caudal: Puerto Rican and Dominican Dialogues on Feminism and Queerness

Join CENTRO December 13th for a panel discussion and celebration of a very special issue of the Summer 2024 CENTRO Journal, titled “Caudal: Contemporary Feminist & Queer Perspectives on Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.” This journal focuses on contemporary feminist and queer/cuir perspectives of cultural, social, and political phenomena from the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico and their global diasporas.

The writers of this issue “rock the boat” of national insularity to highlight the region’s deep connective tissues. In examining Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, this issue refuses to pick from here nor there, and instead brings together feminist and queer approaches to spotlight our practices of joy, resistance, and survival in the face of racist, patriarchal, capitalist, misogynist, homophobic and transphobic Caribbean politics and maneuvers in the 21st century.
