  René Marques - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
René Marques (October 4, 1919-March 22, 1979) born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, was a renowned short story writer and playwright.
René Marques was a member of what was known in Puerto Rico as "The Generation of the 40's".
An Analysis of “the Oxcart” by René Marqués, Puerto Rican Playwright
en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Rene_Marques   (448 words)

  
 [No title]
Marqués' work, along with Soto’s, marks a profound change: The jíbaro is also the jíbara, which was not the case previously.
Marqués’ clearly anti-feminist attitude is meant to be a counterpoint to the hegemonic North American culture, revealing the real nature of the U.S-Puerto Rican relationship in that it is one of master and slave as one culture imposes itself on another.
Marqués relies on the “good” conscience of the Puerto Rican people to be able to choose their home-grown traditions over imported ones.

 82.05.04: An Analysis of “the Oxcart” by René Marqués, Puerto Rican Playwright
René Marqués was born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico (on the north coast of the island) on October 4, 1919.
Marqués was awarded a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation in 1949 to study playwriting at Columbia University, where he observed first hand the consequences of the Puerto Rican migration to New York City.
This colonialist mentality is believed by Marqués to be the most pervasive characteristic of the Puerto Rican population, leading to the docility and submissiveness experienced by the majority of the characters in “The Oxcart”.

 Marqués, René Criticism and Essays
Marqués eventually returned to his native land, where he continued to produce well-received works of fiction, plays, and essays, including his literary manifesto, Pesimismo literario y optimiso politico: Su coexistencia en el Puerto Rico actual (1959; Literary Pessimism and Political Optimism: Their Coexistence in Contemporary Puerto Rico).
Despite his opposition to Western cultural hegemony, Marqués was not averse to assimilating the current literary forms of North America and Europe for his own purposes.
Marqués remains an outstanding figure in Puerto Rican literature for his technical contributions to the theater of that land, his commitment to the writing profession, and his persistent efforts to draw attention to issues concerning Puerto Rican society and independence.

 PUERTO RICO HERALD: Cultural Negotiations: Puerto Rican Intellectuals In A State-Sponsored Community Education Project, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
As an intellectual, Marques was profoundly pedagogical and moralistic.
Initially, at least, there was plenty of incentive for all parties to participate in the project: the intellectuals and artists had a broad audience for their art; Munoz Marin furthered his cultural nationalism and strengthened his grassroots political base; and the rural communities gained basic education and help in addressing their most immediate problems.
These two agendas stand in contrast to the desire expressed in Marques' and other writers' ideological convictions to dominate the psychology and treatment of their female characters.78 These conflicting agendas led to a destabilization, a fissure, a rupture in the discourse on what Puerto Rican woman citizens' democratic participation ought to be.

Marques was to become a farmer before he even thought of becoming a writer.
In 1949, Marques was awarded a grant by the Rockefeller Foundation, an opportunity that led him to leave his job with the journal El Diario and go to New York, where he studied drama at Columbia University and at the Piscartor’s Dramatic Workshop.
Marques’ multiple achievements have secured his future, a great career as a writer, and must of all, a great place in the history of Latin American literature.

 Deported fordrunken driving - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
GEORGETOWN, Guyana -- When George Rene Marques thinks about his two youngest children, he sees them as they were seven years ago -- the day he was banished from America for drunken driving.
At the time, he says, his daughter was two and he was "a little short on cash," but even when his car business was in a slump, he always managed to provide for them.
In 1996, Marques says, he weighed 220 pounds (99 kilograms), "all solid muscle." As a former boxer turned fitness trainer, he always stayed in top shape.

THE complexity in dealing with Puerto Rican literature produced in the United States arises because Puerto Rican literature is not only, or primarily, the literature of an ethnic minority.
Marqués presents emigration as a process of moral and cultural deterioration and concludes by calling for a return to tending the land in Puerto Rico.
Laviera picks on the guiding symbol of the play, an oxcart, and recognizes that returning to the homeland is not an option for most immigrants and their offspring, who must carve a place for their community in United States society.

An Analysis of “the Oxcart” by Rene Marques, Puerto Rican Playwright, by Norine Polio
In addition to Marques’ genius as a writer, I chose the play because the language is remarkably simple in nature due to the subject matter presented— the journey of a contemporary Puerto Rican family from the land to the city (in this case, San Juan and New York) and back again to the land.
It is the story of any immigrant (migrant in the case of Puerto Rican) family in its struggles to adapt to “foreign” surroundings, although the problems presented are specifically Puerto Rican.
