the Book
Legacy. Tradition. Diaspora.
An art book, a history book, a book of legacy and tradition. A presentation of love for who we are and expressions of our core cultural values through more than 100 photographs from 38 locations in Puerto Rico and its diaspora. The extended captions are in English and Spanish to spark conversations about the past, present and future, while counteracting negative stereotypes and instilling pride in all generations.
Teachers will find this book an excellent tool for developing cross-cultural understanding and competency. Please feel free to contact us for classroom and library rates.
“...a completely original and truly necessary testimony of the Puerto Rican experience.”
“López and Joseph succeed in illustrating the diversity of Puerto Rican people with this reflective, pulsing-with-life collection.”
“...a beautiful book, which encourages viewers/readers to see past the stereotypes and to appreciate the cultural, historical, and spiritual richness of ‘who we are.’”
“I fell in love with this book not just for its visual exuberance, but for the way it prompted me to see connections out of the human experience.”
