CENTRO Journal vol. XXVII, no. I, Spring 2015

CENTRO Journal

Since its first issue in 1987, the journal has proven to be one of Centro’s most important links to the public. A multidisciplinary, bilingual, refereed publication that welcomes scholarly articles in the humanities and the social and natural sciences, as well as interpretive essays, interviews, fiction, reviews and art. CENTRO Journal is published twice a year (spring and fall) and a yearly subscription includes both issues.

Consistent with the multidisciplinary spirit that characterizes the journal, this issue presents a hugely diverse array of articles that illuminate various aspects of the Puerto Rican experience.
