As members of the Puerto Rican diaspora, they have a heightened awareness of the systematic discrimination and the colonial citizenship created by Puerto Rico's territorial status. \u003ci\u003ePragmatic Liberation\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes the work of established playwrights as well as work that has previously received little attention in the world of theater studies, including René Marqués's \u003ci\u003ePalm Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e. The book demonstrates the strategies these playwrights use to model a nuanced way of moving toward liberation while being sensitive to the potential impact these actions might have on those closest to us. This is a crucially important model that needs more attention in our currently polarized political moment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Michigan Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45030059901079,"sku":"9780472056729","price":3130.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780472056729.webp?v=1769205105","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pragmatic-liberation-and-the-politics-of-puerto-rican-diasporic-drama-9780472056729","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
