This book comprises six papers from a symposium held in New York's El Museo del Barrio in February 1998, in conjunction with an exhibit of pre-Columbian art and culture in the Caribbean. Social scientists and advocates of the Taíno people look at local and diasporic Taínos, making Indians out of Blacks, Puerto Rican identity, and other aspects of the revival. The editor provides an introduction. There is no index.
