Puerto Rican Art

In the history of art in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico is only 512 years old. On November 19, 1493, Christopher Columbus discovered the island for the second time traveling to the New World. On the island he found a Taino Indian living there. Fan Ponce De Leon came to the island as the first governor in 1508. In 1521, San Juan City was founded. From the 17th century to the 18th century Puerto Rico was attacked by Spanish enemies, Dutch and British. The island is striving to achieve economic stability through small herdgrowing and agriculture.

American Puerto Rican Identity I am "American" or "Puerto Rico", but is this problem my problem? Many Puerto Ricans may not agree with each other, but I think that "American" and Puerto Rican are Americans. When I was a child my own parents robbed my culture and true identity. They talked in English that Puerto Ricans refuse to learn or hate. As for Puerto Rico 's legacy I can only say comida ... compare and contrast the way Emerson and Thoreau represent America' s identity. "An identity means that one person will be different from another person depending on who they are or the quality of that person or group" (Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary, 3 rd edition). Everyone, group, and country have their own identities. If there is a conflict of interest between philosophers, a response to existing philosophy will occur.
