I am the unnamed "college professor" mentioned in the tweet below😆but seriously I had a great convo w/
@NPRCodeSwitch
about
@sanbenito
and my class "Bad Bunny & Resistance in Puerto Rico." Link: Oh and the

syllabus project is now live.
🚨🔊NEW EP ALERT! 🔊🚨
What can Bad Bunny tell us about anti-colonial politics in Puerto Rico? In this week's ep, we sit down with a college professor whose new course aims to tackle that very question.

Bad Bunny’s Grammy performance tonight was an incredible exhibition of unapologetically (inclusive) Puerto Rican pride. Caribbean pride. Latine pride. Bomba. Plena. Black. Queer. PUERTO RICAN PRIDE. This is so much more than just “Latin flavor,” as so many are calling it 🇵🇷✊🏽💯❤️

Instead of simply demonizing the paparazzi, we need to hold the larger corporate media + celebrity systems accountable that demand these photographs, and profit endlessly from their circulation. Paparazzi are the easy scapegoats for a much larger issue. I wrote a book about it!

They are prob your BIPOC colleagues who you’ve been ignoring for decades, dismissing their work as not theoretical while you now try to make sense of the things they already theorized. For those who do critical race work, addressing what is happening now requires no gymnastics.

Such a long history of this for BIPOC women in and colonized by the US. From 1930s-1970s about 1/3 of Puerto Rican women on the island were forced into sterilization. It’s widely documented, but still not widely known. This is more of the same.
