With heavy heart..."Theorizing culture and place, Dr. Juan Flores (1943-2014) re-imagined and articulated the hidden histories of the Puerto Rican diaspora in groundbreaking publications that include, Divided Borders: Essays of Puerto Rican Identity (1993) and The Diaspora Strikes Back: Caribeño Tales of Learning and Turning (2009). Edited by Miriam Jiménez Román & Juan Flores his most recent work, The Afro-Latin@ reader : history and culture in the United States (2010) challenged us to come to terms with the effects of racializing discourses and practices in our communities. By creating spaces via the AfroLatin@ forum with his beloved partner Miriam, they sought to support a cadre of critically engaged scholars and activists that are radically transforming scholarship on Latinos, Puerto Ricans and the AfroLatin@ Diaspora. When I last saw Juan at an event at NYU he was doing just that. A true pionero. En Paz Descanse."
