{"product_id":"9781940939070","title":"Our Nuyorican Thing, The Birth of a Self-Made Identity","description":"What is a \"Nuyorican\"? And what does it mean? Poet, writer and activist Samuel Diaz Carrion explores this question and more in OUR NUYORICAN THING, THE BIRTH OF A SELF-MADE IDENTITY. What began as blog correspondence for the Nuyorican Poets Cafe's website (2001-2004), quickly turned into a cultural exchange about the Cafe and Puerto Rican culture. OUR NUYORICAN THING is a compendium of those blog entries and emails that also include Diaz Carrion's poetry through the eyes of a \"Puerto Rican Indiana Jones\" who has quietly studied \"the trade route of a new language . . . collecting poetry and stories as the artifacts of the day.\" This collection is riveting, informative and delightful, and will satisfy any reader with an appetite for cross-cultural discussions.","brand":"The Intercultural Alliance of Artists \u0026 Scholars,","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050895818992,"sku":"9781940939070","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781940939070_p0.jpg?v=1763755132","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781940939070","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
