	Nuyorican - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nuyorican is a blending of the phrases "New York" and "Puerto Rican" and refers to the members or culture of the Puerto Rican diaspora located in or around New York City, or of their descendants (especially those raised or still living in the New York area).
		The term is used to identify heritage or ethnicity instead of, or in addition to, the standardized census categories of white, fl, Asian, American Indian or Alaska native, or Hawaii or Pacific Island native.
		Nuyorican itself dates at least from 1975, the date of the first public sessions of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe.

	Allá y Acá: Locating Puerto Ricans in the Diaspora(s)
		This rejection of Nuyoricans and their ideas about race cannot simply be attributed to an affirmation of Puerto Rican nationalism as against the colonizing metropole because some ideas de allá have clearly met with higher degrees of receptivity on the island.
		Nuyoricans were particularly receptive to the new discourses that arose from these struggles because, located at the very bottom of the social and economic hierarchy of the City, they realized there was much to be gained and little to be lost in de-mystifying the role of race in our lives.
		While the term "Nuyorican" is often used to encompass all Puerto Ricans who have lived their formative years in the United States, I am using it in its original sense, as specific to those raised in New York City.
