    La Brega

    La Brega tells stories of the Puerto Rican experience.

    In Season 3 of La Brega, we’re bringing you stories of Puerto Rico’s champions. We’re going to go to the ballfields and cultural battlegrounds where carrying the flag takes on even more meaning. We’ll meet fighters who have represented us in courtrooms and in boxing rings, and icons who have worn Puerto Rico on their sashes and their jerseys. We’re going to ask: what do we learn about Puerto Ricanness by spending time with our champions? 

    La Brega cuenta las historias de la experiencia boricua.

    En esta tercera temporada, te contamos las historias de personas y símbolos que representan a Puerto Rico. Iremos a los parques y campos de batalla culturales donde llevar la bandera significa algo más. Conoceremos a campeones y campeonas que nos han representado desde los cuadriláteros hasta los tribunales y que han llevado el nombre de Puerto Rico en sus cintos y camisetas. Vamos a explorar qué aprendemos sobre la puertorriqueñidad cuando conocemos mejor a nuestros campeones y nuestras campeonas.

    2. Levittown, donde la buena vida comienza Feb 24, 2021
    Show notes

    Alana Casanova-Burgess traza la historia del crecimiento y eventual deterioro de Levittown, Toa Baja, un suburbio masivo que se fundó con la idea de traer el estilo de vida de la clase media estadounidense a Puerto Rico durante una época de gran transformación en la isla. Casanova-Burgess explora lo que el proyecto nos dice sobre nuestra historia y las promesas de vivir “el sueño americano” en Puerto Rico.

    Photos y archivos sobre el Levittown boricua se encuentran aqui.

    Cezanne Cardona Morales' collection of short stories is called Levittown, Mon Amour.

    Hilda y Paula, quien compartieron sus experiencias en este episodio, también hablaron sobre Levittown en un episodio de "Nuestro Podcast."

    La entrevista de WNYC con Dona Fela, la alcaldesa de San Juan, se encuentra aquí. Y el audio del primer vuelo de Eastern Airlines de 1951 está aquí.

    1. What Is La Brega? Feb 24, 2021
    Show notes

    In this kick-off episode, host Alana Casanova-Burgess sets out to define la brega and examine what its ubiquity among boricuas really means. A brega implies a challenge we can’t really solve, so you have to hustle to get around it. In Puerto Rico, Cheo Santiago runs a social media account called Adopta Un Hoyo, where people deal with the huge problem of potholes by painting their edges white and posting photographs of craters to the site. Because the roads are rarely fixed properly, the challenges of potholes (hoyos) and what people do to fix them or get around them is a metaphorical and literal brega in Puerto Rico. She talks with Cheo Santiago, who runs a social media account called Adopta Un Hoyo, to learn more about this particular problem, and with scholar and professor emeritus at Princeton, Arcadio Diaz Quiñonez. Some twenty years ago, he published an influential essay called “De Como y Cuándo Bregar”. The essay used the language of la brega as a lens to understand Puerto Rican history and politics and identity, arguing that there’s something about this word that unlocks a lot about who we are. Amidst potholes, protests and metaphors, Alana finds all the meanings that lie within “la brega”, how it sometimes asks too much of boricuas, and how the word has an innate sense of hope.

    Arcadio Díaz Quiñones has a new online archive of his work, and you can learn more about it here. His essay, "De Cómo y Cuándo Bregar", can be found in the collection El Arte de Bregar.

    1. ¿Qué es la brega? Feb 24, 2021
    Show notes

    En este primer episodio, Alana Casanova-Burgess nos comparte un ejemplo para explicar que significa para los boricuas “bregar”. Para eso platica con Cheo Santiago, creador y mantenedor de la cuenta de redes sociales “Adopta un Hoyo” y con el escritor y profesor emérito de Princeton Arcadio Díaz Quiñones, quien hace unos veinte años escribió un ensayo muy influyente, “De Cómo y Cuándo Bregar”, donde usa la frase como un lente para entender mejor la experiencia boricua. Entre hoyos, protestas y metáforas, Alana va encontrando cuanto se guarda en la brega, sus limitaciones y como la esperanza de un mejor Puerto Rico se asoma entre todo eso.

    Arcadio Díaz Quiñones tiene un nuevo archivo, y lo puedes encontrar aquí. Su ensayo, "De Cómo y Cuándo Bregar", se encuentra en el libro El Arte de Bregar.
