More DescriptionThis book is a follow-up to the 2014 publication "Race, Identity and Indigenous Politics: Puerto Rican Neo-Taínos in the Diaspora and the Island." The subject-"Taíno survivalism"-focuses on Caribbean Latinas/os and especially the spokespersons, "leaders" and their followers who aggressively claim that they are the direct descendants [pure or mixed] of the pre1492/pre-Columbian indigenous.
