In this talk, Professor Soto-Crespo discusses Enrique Laguerre’s literary works The Blaze (1935) and Montoya’s Plantation (1941), as key roots of ecological thought in Puerto Rico. Laguerre’s ecological viewpoint offers a way to understand the connection between humans and non-human entities within a landscape of harsh exploitation.
