As members of the Puerto Rican diaspora, they have a heightened awareness of the systematic discrimination and the colonial citizenship created by Puerto Rico's territorial status. \u003ci\u003ePragmatic Liberation\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes the work of established playwrights as well as work that has previously received little attention in the world of theater studies, including René Marqués's \u003ci\u003ePalm Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e. The book demonstrates the strategies these playwrights use to model a nuanced way of moving toward liberation while being sensitive to the potential impact these actions might have on those closest to us. This is a crucially important model that needs more attention in our currently polarized political moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon D.
