Mexican and Boricua?! Damn.

Mexico was one of the first Latin American countries to openly support Puerto Rico’s right to self-determination, especially through cultural and academic exchanges in the 20th century.

Puerto Rico and Mexico share deep Afro-Indigenous-Spanish roots, which show up in music, food, and language—different rhythms, same colonial history.

Many Puerto Rican writers, artists, and political thinkers found platforms in Mexico during the 20th century, especially when U.S. and Caribbean publishing spaces were limited.
