En esta veintena de textos que recorren cinco décadas, Luis Rafael Sánchez aborda de frente «el repudio feroz a la ignominia que representan los odios raciales», desde la esclavitud y la lucha por los derechos civiles en Estados Unidos hasta el homicidio de George Floyd, y de Nelson Mandela a Meghan Markle, en ensayos ya clásicos como «El pelo malo», «Las señas del Caribe», «Todo sobre la nariz» o «Soy negro y qué».

Luis Rafael Sánchez celebra la aportación de la mulatez y la negritud a la historia y cultura del Caribe, y confronta los juicios y prejuicios en torno a las cuestiones de raza y de clase social que están presentes en el devenir político y social de Puerto Rico: «El idioma y la historia varían de Jamaica a Haití, de Aruba al Caribe hispánico. Pero la prietura permanece como la señal que hermana los piélagos antillanos».

«La obra letrada de Luis Rafael Sánchez ha sido embajada errante de una nación sin embajadas. Imposible entender a Roma sin Virgilio, a Italia sin Dante, a España sin Cervantes, a Argentina sin Borges. Igualmente es imposible entender al Puerto Rico contemporáneo sin Luis Rafael Sánchez. Las culturas constituidas siempre descansan sobre los hombros de sus grandes artistas» --Luce López-Baralt y Aníbal González.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


A collection of texts written over 50 years that deal with the racism and colorism present in Puerto Rico and America at large.


Through over twenty texts spanning five decades, Luis Rafael Sánchez confronts racial hatred--from slavery and the fight for civil rights in the U.S., to the murder of George Floyd; from Nelson Mandela to Meghan Markle, in iconic essays such as «El pelo malo» (Bad Hair), and «Todo sobre la nariz» (Everything about the nose).


Luis Rafael Sánchez celebrates the contributions of the Black and Afrolatino community to the history and culture of the Caribbean, confronting the prejudice around race and social class that is still present in Puerto Rico and visible in its day-to-day.

Super wide
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Taupe
They are oddly very wide. Great for kids with wide chunky feet but for us it was not cute

Solid Kids Sandals, Overpriced Like Most Kids Shoes 🌞
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown
My son hasn’t worn these yet since it’s December in Indiana and sandals + snow obviously don’t mix. 😂 So this review is based on first impressions rather than long term wear. That said, these seem wider than a lot of typical kids’ sandals, which I REALLY appreciate since we tend to have wider feet in our family. #hobbitfeet The quality feels pretty decent overall. They’re described as lightweight, and while they’re not insanely lightweight, they do have enough weight to feel semi-sturdy and not flimsy or cheap. I like the style and color, and I think they’ll work well for my son once warmer weather hits. My main complaint is the price. At just under $24 at the time of this review, it feels a little high for kids’ sandals and for what these are. I really feel like $20 MAX would make more sense. Kids shoes are almost always priced like adult shoes, even though they clearly use less material, and that’s hard for me to understand and wrap my mind around. Overall, these seem solid for daily wear, I just wish the price was a bit more reasonable and affordable.

Great basic and timeless design
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Brown
These sandals are a great find! They’re super easy to get on and off thanks to the Velcro straps, which is a huge win for little ones learning to be more independent. The fit is adjustable and secure, so they stay in place well during all kinds of play. The cork-style footbed is comfortable and gives good support, and the overall design feels sturdy enough to handle everyday wear. They’re lightweight but still durable, and have held up really well so far. They also have a classic, versatile look that goes with just about everything, perfect for summer outfits. Overall, a reliable, comfortable sandal that’s great for active kids. Would definitely buy again!
