That Puerto Rico is the world's oldest colony and Puerto Ricans the only nationality to have a psychological disorder named after them cannot, after all, be taken lightly. Conjuring an ensemble of chronicles, memory, anecdotes, anthems, monuments, statistics, and theory, this debut collection reckons with the collective traumas that haunt the Boricua psyche, a psyche vitiated by emancipatory desires as much as geopolitical travesties. In doing so, it strives to de-sublimate the effects of imperial power and enliven a politics for autonomy, beauty, and constituent power. Inventive, rigorous, and unyielding, \u003ci\u003eSyndrome\u003c\/i\u003e is nothing shy of a counter-diagnosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.03 x 9.01 x 6.16 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42727298760767,"sku":"9781934695814","price":25.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/374cb3ad5b5dfc988ac411d2ab4f79f1.webp?v=1765114291","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/syndrome-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
