[This chapter explores selected works of Esmeralda Santiago, demonstrating how they communicate a subversion of the ongoing colonial relationship with the USA through an examination of identity. After providing a brief biological sketch of Santiago, the chapter proceeds with a literary analysis of her works, demonstrating an emphasis on identity as a central theme. This theme corresponds with the Christian doctrine of humanity (Christian anthropology); the chapter continues with a brief overview of various perspectives on that doctrine, engaging Christopher Morse’s Not Every Spirit: A Dogmatics of Christian Disbelief as a critical guide. The chapter concludes with a vision of a Puerto Rican decolonial anthropology that emerges from the Puerto Rican story and points toward a new identity transformed by freedom.TopicsThe works of Esmeralda SantiagoBiographical SketchLiterary Analysis: “Who am I?”Puerto Rican identity in dialogue with the doctrine of anthropologyConstructing a prophetic decolonial Puerto Rican anthropology]
