*“Puerto Rico's Present and
a Peek into Its Future”*
*with Amílcar Antonio Barreto*
A series of economic and natural catastrophes have upended the lives of
millions of Puerto Ricans, both on the home island and in Puerto Rican
communities throughout the US mainland. These crises have profoundly
altered the island's political landscape, including the perennial debate
over its status as a US Commonwealth, becoming a state or becoming an
independent country. This talk will outline and then analyze these
events and speculate about the island's future and its relationship with
the US federal government.
•*Amílcar Antonio Barreto*JD, PhD is a professor in, and chair of, the
Department of Cultures, Societies & Global Studies at Northeastern
University where he has taught for the past 24 years. He is the author
of six books. Four of them have focused on Puerto Rico's contemporary
political, cultural, and social upheavals. The most recent was "The
Politics of Language in Puerto Rico Revisited" (University Press of

*"U.S. Imperialism, the Latin American Left, and Liberation Theology"*
*with Ben Norton*
During the Donald Trump administration, top U.S. government officials
repeatedly invoked the nearly 200-year-old colonial Monroe Doctrine to
justify US interventions in Latin America. Even under President Joe
Biden today, these aggressive imperialist policies continue in the
region, which Washington has long considered to be its "backyard." Ben
Norton will speak about how the US government has for decades waged a
war on the Latin American left, and how this brutal campaign continues
today, targeting not only the secular left, but also progressive and
revolutionary Christian movements inspired by liberation theology.
*Music by Dean Stevens & Rob Flax*
*Sunday, March 28th at 11 AM:*
*“Peacemaking and Jailbreaks:
Liberation in Captivity"*
*with John Bach*
introduction by *Joyce Katzberg*
If we consider the existential threats of nuclear weapons and climate
destruction as imprisoning the human family, what tools may we develop
to resist the lunacy and give hope to each other and future generations?
How can we keep ourselves free and reasonably happy? The example of Fr.
Placid Karoly Olafsson, a survivor of 10 years in the Soviet Gulag, will
be discussed.
