The Tainos became a symbol of Puerto Rican identity in the 19th century, when local governments and intellectuals began to appropriate the Tainos for the conception of a socially and racially balanced Puerto Rican society. Modern critics now claim that the Taino heritage has been canonized through state-sponsored institutions, such as festivals, museums, and textbooks, at the expense of blacks. In the past, officials, alarmed at the black majorities on other the Caribbean Islands, tried to ""whiten"" Puerto Rican society by calling all people of color Tainos. Others complain that the Taino revival lost its fervor, evolving from an anti-colonialist movement to a mere fashionable trend.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USContributor: Gabriel Haslip-Viera (Edited by)Author: Gabriel Haslip-VieraGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 2001 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
