About the event
Join author, scholar, and interdisciplinary artist Denise Zubizarreta for a special book reading, discussion, and signing celebrating the release of Colonial Stockholm Syndrome: Navigating Identity, Loyalty, and Resistance in Puerto Rico.

This event will feature a live reading from the book, followed by a discussion on colonial power, propaganda, psychological survival, and the ongoing realities facing Puerto Rico today.
