And what does it mean? Poet, writer and activist Samuel Diaz Carrion explores this question and more in OUR NUYORICAN THING, THE BIRTH OF A SELF-MADE IDENTITY. What started out as blog correspondence for the Nuyorican Poets Cafe's website (2001-2004), quickly turned into a cultural exchange about the Cafe and Puerto Rican culture. OUR NUYORICAN THING is a compendium of those blog entries and emails that also includes Diaz Carrion's poetry seen through the eyes of a \"Puerto Rican Indiana Jones\" who has quietly studied \"the trade route of a new language . . . collecting poetry and stories as the artifacts of the day.\" This collection is riveting, informative and delightful, and will satisfy any reader with an appetite for cross-cultural discussions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2leaf Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48232229830807,"sku":"9781940939070","price":1276.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781940939070.webp?v=1788795996","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/our-nuyorican-thing-the-birth-of-a-self-made-identity-9781940939070","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
