The Toxicity of the U.S Aid Relief

Historically the U.S government and the island of Puerto Rico have been at odds. Since the U.S army invasion in 1898, Puerto Ricans have been denied the power of self-determination. As an unincorporated U.S territory Puerto Rico's political rights are limited, e.g. the Puerto Rico's constitution is bound to follow U.S constitutions arguments. This lack of power (including, economical ones) forces the island to remain in a welfare state.On September 20, 2017 Hurricane Maria hit the island of Puerto Rico.

Data Analysis Analytic

In order to analyze and organize my data, I plan on using a cross-scale questioning analytic that is tailored to far-Right movements in an era of late liberalism. To create this analytic, I considered Kim Fortun’s understanding of late industrialism (Fortun 2012) and Elizabeth Povinelli’s understandings of late liberalism, a “topological twist” in the governance of difference and the governance of markets (Povinelli 2015). For Povinelli, late liberalism is like a symphony—there is no one time or place where late liberalism has happened.

The United States has pride itself in their progressive actions to address racism, however, they have done so without directly addressing the root cause in fundamental issues of race, gender, and sexuality, which have been primarily covered up through progressive policies. The formal policy process making is often a façade that sustains racial patterns of domination (HoSang, 2010).
