The name "Puerto Rico" usually does not conjure the image of Taino Indians or African slaves, yet these populations have great importance in laying the foundation for the notion of identity of Puerto Ricans. In contemporary debates of Puerto Rican identity, it is essential to examine the history of the island to determine the effects

13 Sign Language for Your Infant As a general rule, starting sign language as early as a week old is good practice. I started teaching my son sign language with the help of my husband, when he was one month old. You start with the easy signs, food, milk, more, and all done. With patience and persistence, your baby will learn these signs. It took our son about 7 months to fully acquire the signs we had been teaching. Consistence is priority as well.

enormous Spanish fleet of 130 ships sailed from A Coruña under the command of the Duke of Medina Sidonia with the sole purpose of invading England. If the invasion succeeded, it would change the world and Christianity; there would not be an England, as we know it, in its place a Spanish colony; Catholicism would prevail as the superior form of Christianity over Protestantism.

The image of loyalty—secret meetings in back rooms geared to manipulate the language of laws to protect and preserve the defense, profit, and whiteness of the Spanish empire.

English; I danced and listened to Spanish. I spoke little of either tongue, feeling as if neither quite belonged to me. My mother, a proud Peruvian, did her best to raise me with her native tongue and surround me with her Hispanic culture. My father, coming from Canadian Immigrants, believed that the state on my certificate bounded me to a culture I was just pale enough for; this family insisted that English was my native tongue.
