	PUERTO RICO HERALD: The Poetry Of The Nuyorican Experience (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Today Nuyorican poetry can range from sonnets to the frenzied verses of competitive slams, and its themes are universal: the politics of daily life, sex and love, discovery of self.
		Many young Nuyorican writers said they were driven to poetry by racist encounters in mostly white schools, by witnessing injustices suffered by family members or neighbors at the hands of the police, landlords or welfare workers, and by the need to express themselves, "to prove," as one poet said, "that I was a human being."
		The Nuyorican Poets Cafe is still home for many Nuyorican poets and remains a thriving poetry hub, but its neighborhood has become trendy and expensive and freer of crime and drugs.

	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 State especially 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.

	The Black Arts Movement: Literary Nationalism in the 1960s and 1970s, by James Edward Smethurst. Introduction. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Even now, academic assessments of the Black Arts and Black Power movements are frequently made in passing and generally seem to assume that we already know all we need to know about these intertwined movements and their misogyny, homophobia, anti-Semitism, and eschewal of practical politics for the pathological symbolic.
		The Chicano movement, for example, was not only a phenomenon of the West and the Southwest (and the South, depending on how one categorizes Texas) but also of many midwestern cities where there had long been significant Chicana/o communities.
		The formal and thematic choices of the proto-Black Arts poets and Nuyorican artists are examined through these new institutional contexts and the context of the changing civil rights movement (e.g., the growth of cultural nationalism in organizations such as SNCC) and the emergence of the New Left, particularly the SDS and the PL.

	AAW_poetry_essay
		This essay briefly summarizes the themes in island poetry and the movements that influenced Puerto Rican poetry in the United States.

		Nuyorican is now a term embraced by second and third generation Puerto Ricans in New York to describe their culture-one that straddles island and urban life, United States and Puerto Rican values.

	Nuyorican Obituary: Pedro Pietri, 59, Served The People
		Nuyorican icon, Pedro Pietri, died twice last week at the age of 59.

	Working Paper No. 42
		Frances Aparicio notes that the Nuyorican movement "was mostly constituted by social and political poetry which loudly belied the myth of the American Dream and denounced the subhuman conditions to which Puerto Ricans have been submitted since their massive arrival in the 1940's."12 In the introduction to Nuyorican Poetry, Miguel Algarín argues that,
		The Nuyoricans are a special experience in the immigration history of the city of New York There is at the edge of every empire a linguistic explosion that results from the many multilingual tribes that collect around wealth and power.
		The fact that the Nuyorican literary "revolution" came out of, in part, the civil rights movement, does not erase the complicated issues of nationalism that are manifest in the cultural expression.

	Black Arts Movement
		In a 1968 essay, "The Black Arts Movement," Larry Neal proclaimed Black Arts the "aesthetic and spiritual sister of the Black Power concept." As a political phrase, Black Power had earlier been used by Richard Wright to describe the mid-1950s emergence of independent African nations.
		Although some of his opinions are controversial (note that in the movement controversy was normal), Redmond's era by era and city by city cataloging of literary collectives as well as individual writers offers an invaluable service in detailing the movement's national scope.
		As the movement reeled from the combination of external and internal disruption, commercialization and capitalist co-option delivered the coup de grace.

		Village, which wasn’t the Nuyorican Poets’ Café, which was also a point of attraction for a lot of cultural workers and musicians.
		Nuyorican in fact is an adoption of a term that was a pejorative term used by islanders.
		And I always try to bring out these connections, because the Nuyorican poetry and bugalú and then what came to be called salsa were in the same exact period, and they were an expression of exactly the same thing.

	Emanuel Xavier Official Site
		A painful past of sexual abuse at the hands of an older cousin, rejection by a devoutly religious mother, homelessness, and a life of prostitution and drug-dealing, are among some of the experiences that served as inspiration for the vibrant and emotionally raw poems for which Xavier became famous.
		In essence, it was the next chapter in the life of a native son surviving the contradictions of his homeland.
		Emanuel Xavier is recipient of the Marsha A. Gomez Cultural Heritage Award for his contributions to gay and Latino culture and received a City Council Citation for his contributions to the gay and lesbian community of New York City.

		The Nuyorican Movement set an alliance with the Royal Chicano Air Force, and we became honorary members, because the Chicano and the Nuyorican Movements are the same.

	village voice > theater > Nuyorican Stories; Mirandolina by Stephen Nunns (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		That's a pretty bizarre proposition, especially considering recent events involving the FALN, a senator-maybe-to-be, and her husband (there is one reference to the recent prisoner release, but it's a relatively fleeting one).
		There are some dead-on portrayals— Montoya in particular creates some very complex characterizations, especially his portrayal of Algarín and a single mother who frets about her 16-year-old son's future— and nobody can beat Salinas's graceful physicality, but the group is unable, or unwilling, to dig deeply into the underside of the Puerto Rican culture.
		Nuyorican Stories, the result of a year-long residency at INTAR, was originally supposed to be called Radio Manhattan, and it's hard not to wish that the troupe had been up for taking a far more sweeping view of the city during their stay.

		In the late 1960's, fresh from Vietnam, he enlisted in another battle, this time alongside artists, writers and activists who resolved the paradox of migration by embracing their identity as Nuyoricans, celebrating their dual existence as both Puerto Ricans and New Yorkers.
		Pietri helped found and nurture the Nuyorican Poets Cafe on the Lower East Side, which remains a mecca for performance poets who had not even been born 31 years ago when he published his meditation on a people's lonely spiritual death.

		Maybe its time to recognize that the so-called ‘Nuyorican experience’ is no longer relevant to the 3rd generation and possibly totally irrelevant to the 4th generation.
		The panel led by the curator was informative — not only of the Nuyorican experience but of the Latino experience of the New York City and beyond so that I don’t see Nuyorican Cinema as irrelevant at all.
		There are people doing things here and there, but until you get the Nuyorican movement more together on a larger scale, you’re not going to see the full power that those possessed with ganas and cultura can have on our community.

		The description Nuyorican came to refer to an identity, a language, a genre and style that expressed Puerto Rican experience and frustration with the vicious marginalization and decline of the barrios of New York.
		Another effort to counter decline was the Lower East Side’s community garden movement.
		The movement’s first community garden began in 1973, when a group of residents threw balloons containing plant seeds and bulbs into a large fenced-in parcel on Houston Street near the Bowery.

		The island of Puerto Rico may not have technical independence, but these Nuyoricans are definitely liberated, diplomatically immune to American domination.

		Third, we wanted to experience the transformation of Puerto Rican consciousness through the eyes of the Puerto Rican artist, to relive the questions he or she was raising through film.
		This is a house divided, where those that remain behind are living out values of a rapidly disappearing rural society, while those that leave are seeking a different, if not better life, where they can work and perhaps break an endless cycle of subsistence farming and increasing impoverishment.
		Distinctly Nuyorican is the depiction of culturally diverse characters.

		Out with the horns and guitars, the birth and preeminence of rap made the human voice the primary and so often the only musical instrument available for generations of youth here after.
		As Nuyorican poet Guy LeCharles Gonzales wrote in "Behind the Music," "pen and paper [was] less default than option." Ironically, though post-industrial poverty constrained the forms of how youth could express themselves, in many ways it would lead to freeing the access and directness of artistic expression and leisure for urban youth.
		Amidst the privatization and destruction of public space, urban youth became party-rockers and poets out of necessity.
