Race, Front and Center is a collection of essays that captures the breadth of research on the subject of race among Puerto Ricans. Its twenty-two chapters divided into seven sections address the intellectual, aesthetic and historical trajectories that have served to inform the creation of a national identity among Puerto Ricans and how race as a social identity fits into the process of national identity-building.
