Puerto Rican Gender and Nationalist paradigm

在波多黎各，妇女提供了一个新的视角，重新思考老牌政党如何为人们的实际问题服务。与此同时，在美国，女性已经开始专注于解决她们的问题，比如接受双语教育，消除贫困，或者改善好工作的可获得性。这些解决方案为社会上的政治问题带来了新的观点。从这个意义上说，妇女的活动也为政治提供了新的视角。与此同时，他们作为美国平民生活在美国本土，他们的经历导致了他们身份的多样性，并一直影响着他们所在社区的政治。因此，我们可以说，波多黎各妇女通过社区活动发挥了重要作用，提出了新范式的挑战。因此，本研究有助于更深入地了解美国多元文化社会，以及随着少数族裔成员的增加，社会正在发生怎样的变化。它还表明，女性赋权是美国社会中一个重要而特殊的因素。多元文化和少数族裔妇女的赋权也是了解美国社会以及整个全球化和后殖民世界的特殊因素。从任何意义上说，它们都不是美国社会的主流。也就是说，他们是后殖民世界中大都市里的边缘化人群。但他们并没有被迫被动地接受殖民强权关系的后果。相反，她们显示出有可能利用现有的殖民关系创造优势，避免与这种关系作斗争而产生的竞争，以提高妇女地位。正是在这个意义上，波多黎各女性在美国殖民主义下的历史为我们提供了一条可能的中间道路，超越了殖民者/殖民者、主流/边缘化或西方/非西方的二分法。

In Puerto Rico women offered a new perspective, rethinking how the established parties serve actual people's problems. Meanwhile, in the US stateside, women have started to concentrate on resolving their problems, such as getting bilingual education, eliminating poverty, or improving the availability of good jobs. Those solutions have brought a new point of view to the political issues in the community. In that sense, the women's activities offered new perspectives on politics too. At the same time, living in the U.S. stateside as U.S. civilians, their experience caused diversity of their identity and it has been affecting their community's politics. Thus, we can say that Puerto Rican women play an important role through community activities proposing a challenge of new paradigm.Thus, this research contribute to more deeply understanding multicultural US society and how it is changing due to the increasing number of minority members. It also show a glimpse of women is empowerment that is an important and particular factor in U.S. society. The multicultural aspect and minority women's empowerment are also particular elements not just to understand U.S. society but also the whole globalizing and postcolonial world.They are not, in any sense, in the mainstream of U.S. society. That is, they are marginalized people in a metropolis in the postcolonial world. But they are not condemned to accept passively the consequence of a colonial power relationship. On the contrary, they have shown the possibility of creating advantages out of the existing colonial relationship and avoiding rivalries produced by struggle against such relationships, in order to advance women's status. It is in this sense that Puerto Rican women's history under U.S. colonialism offers us a possible middle path, transcending the dichotomies of colonist/colonized, mainstream /marginalized, or Western/non-Western.
