其他摘要：I investigate Puerto Rican graphic art and memory by studying three literary portfolios created by José R. Alicea. I demonstrate that while some imagery strongly supports the hegemonic view of the colonial elite, the artist also incorporates individual memory and popular culture into these portfolios to question and provoke critical analysis and give voice to another version of history. I conclude by explaining how Alicea uses both collective and individual memory to rescue and immortalize facets of Puerto Rican history and culture in portfolios that can be considered visual documents with universal resonance.
