Abstract
This chapter uncovers a little-known story of Puerto Rican and Arab American coalition building at the University of Illinois Chicago Circle (UICC) to begin considering the ways Chicago Puerto Ricans sharpened their political identities in conversation with the struggle for Palestinian liberation. It demonstrates how Puerto Rican solidarities with Palestine emerged not only as global visions of liberation, but also through grounded modes of identification—in this case, in response to the policing and surveillance of UICC’s 1978 Israeli Independence Day protest. I argue that it was precisely Puerto Rican and Arab American student activists’ concerns about surveillance and political repression that facilitated coalition building in Chicago. By locating the Israeli Independence Day celebration within a broader history of surveillance and counterintelligence, these Puerto Rican students mobilized the protests to articulate their own relationship to an aggressive, imperialist state. It was partly through the struggle for Palestinian self-determination that Chicago Puerto Ricans learned to think and operate within a “Third World” revolutionary political condition.
