Guest editors: Maura I. Toro-Morn (Illinois State University), Ivis Garcia Zambrana (University of Illinois at Chicago) and Marisa Alicea (DePaul University)The Chicago Puerto Rican experience represents a significant chapter of the Puerto Rican diaspora. Sixty years a�er the initial waves of migration, Puerto Ricans find themselves in a paradoxical place. Relative to other ethnic and racial groups in the city and despite their status as U.S. citizens, Puerto Ricans still have among the lowest incomes, educational a�ainment, and homeownership rates. Yet, Puerto Ricans in Chicago have mobilized themselves and other communities in the struggles against gentrification, poverty, poor access to health care and immigrant rights. This special issue seeks to explore some of the realities of the Chicago Puerto Rican community today. We are look-ing for new scholarship that both revisits some of the issues that Puerto Ricans face as long-term residents and explores new problems and challenges the community is confronting. We are also seeking articles that speak to the community’s response to its social and economic realities.
• What are the current economic, housing, political and educational realities of Puerto Ricans in Chicago? How can these best be understood? • Why is it that Puerto Ricans have fared less well than whites and other ethnic/racial groups?• How might the realities of Puerto Ricans be explained within the Chicago context? What is similar and different about the experiences of Chicago Puerto Ricans compared to puertorriqueños in other parts of the country and those on the island? • How might the experiences of various generational groups within the Chicago Puerto Rican community be described and explained? • How have the realities of the housing market and financing structures shaped Puerto Rican’s experiences and ability to a�ain wealth?• How have Chicago Puerto Ricans fared as entrepreneurs and what opportunities for self-employment exist in the city and community?• Chicago has had a rich history of forming alliances across ethnic, racial, national, linguistic differences. What alliances persist through time? Are there new ones?• What are the enduring tensions and conflicts that result from competition for resources, jobs, and political positions? • What are the fissures among Puerto Ricans in terms of gender, sexuality, and social class as well as political ideology?
Simultaneously with the publication in CENTRO Journal of “A current look at Puerto Ricans in Chicago,” the Center for Puerto Rican Studies will consider for publication in its eMagazine, Centro Voices, all non-academic explorations of these questions (dialogs, short essays, photographic essays, poetry and other creative works) on the Puerto Rican community of Chicago.
