飓风玛丽亚摧毁了波多黎各维持现代生活的基础设施。当社区、组织和政府应对灾难时，基础设施政治在有关殖民主义、债务、生命和死亡的辩论中发挥了核心和紧迫的作用。本文描述了玛丽亚去世后几天和几周的日常生活，重点关注人们用于获得电力和水等基本服务的策略。人们动员家庭和社区网络，以及水桶和油箱等实物，搭建临时基础设施，对被毁坏的部分进行补偿，尽管补偿力度不够。本文探讨了国家和企业的治理形式如何通过人们与这些紧急基础设施的纠缠来塑造日常生存。它认为，玛丽亚事件后获得食物、水、电力和其他必需品的经历以具体的方式揭示了波多黎各人作为殖民主体的种族化。
Hurricane María wiped out the infrastructures that helped sustain modern life in Puerto Rico. As communities, organizations, and the government responded to the disaster, the politics of infrastructure took on a central and urgent role in debates about colonialism, debt, life, and death. This paper describes everyday life in the days and weeks that followed María, focusing on the strategies people used to obtain essential services such as power and water. People mobilized family and community networks, along with material objects including buckets and gas tanks, into improvised infrastructures that compensated, however inadequately, for what was destroyed. This article considers how state and corporate forms of governance shape day to day survival through people's entanglements with these emergency infrastructures. It argues that the experience of obtaining food, water, power, and other necessities in the aftermath of María revealed, in an embodied way, the racialization of Puerto Ricans as colonial subjects.
