 Indianz.Com Message Board - RICARDO ALEGRÍA: CULTURAL GIFT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Island’s first professionally trained anthropologist, Ricardo Alegría made an important archaeological contribution to the knowledge of Puerto Rican prehistory.
In numerous digs, which have unearthed splendid relics of pre-Columbian times, he widened the scope of what is now known about the successive waves or cultures of the primitive peoples of Puerto Rico.
But if Ricardo Alegría has deeply influenced the intellectual panoramas of Puerto Ricans, it is no less true that he has transformed the Island’s urban landscape.

Thus, I became one of the first students of Don Ricardo Alegría at the Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Puerto Rico y del Caribe.
I remember that while attending Don Ricardo Alegría’s classes at the Centro de Estudio Avanzados I did research on oral history, which I illustrated with interviews and photographs of the elders in Loíza Aldea.

 Carmelo Ruiz's Puerto Rico News #18
Beyond any doubt, Ricardo Alegría is today the most outstanding advocate for the preservation of Puerto Rican culture and history alive today.
At their activity, SF spokespersons Rafael Bernabe, Jorge Farinacci, María Suarez and Ricardo Santos-Ortiz, and several guest speakers, affirmed the need to fight not only against colonialism and capitalist exploitation, but also oppression in its myriad forms, like racism, sexism, homophobia, immigrant-bashing (especially prejudice against Dominicans), and the religious right's attacks on civil rights.
In his speech, Farinacci declared that the fight for socialism must not be limited to the realm of strictly economic bread-and-butter issues, but must be expanded to support the rights of groups like women, gays and lesbians, and Dominican immigrants.

 Plena Music
There is some speculation that "plena" is a corruption of "Play, Anna", the alleged initial call used by the husband to ask his wife to assist him in his drumming by playing the counterpoint that characterizes plena.
However, Puerto Rican historians such as Ricardo Alegria have debased this as an urban legend, since the name plena had been used to depict the danceable part of traditional merengue as early as the 1850's.
Plena quickly became a "singing news paper" for the lower classes, and used to spread messages among people, similar to the corridos in Mexico.

Ben has changed Caribbean archaeology and Migration Theory (Migrations in Prehistory, 1986) by his simple determination to sample all of Puerto Rico, both across the island and down through time, and by his respect for Caribbean archaeologists.
He has spent many years working with Caribbean archaeologists such as Jose Cruxent (in Venezuela: The Saladero Site), Ricardo Alegria (in Puerto Rico: La Hacienda Grande Site), and fostering working relationships with other notable anthropologists such as Desmont Nicolson and Luis Allaire.
Spanish speaking researchers are generally under-read and under-appreciated by many Western scholars, leaving their findings buried behind cultural and linguistic barriers.
