Rediscovering Latinidad is made with love and dedication to the art of family history. Too often the search for family history can seem Eurocentric and inefficient for those identifying as Latiné, LatinX, and anywhere in between. Let’s share our stories, our resources, and discuss why this all matters. In the search for who we are, we can understand more from our ancestors and their stories.

Rediscovering Latinidad Season 7 Episode 5: Prexit and Puerto Rico’s Future: A Vision for Sovereignty with Javier A. Hernández
On today’s episode—just two days before the anniversary of the United States’ acquisition of Puerto Rico from Spain—we’re joined by author Javier A. Hernández, whose book Prexit: Forging Puerto Rico’s Path to Sovereignty reimagines what a fully independent Puerto Rico could look like.
We explore how sovereignty could unlock new opportunities for Puerto Rico—politically, economically, and culturally—and how self-determination might strengthen not just the island’s future, but the entire Caribbean region. Javier shares how history informs this vision, and why understanding Puerto Rico’s past is essential to shaping a thriving, self-sustaining future.
For anyone passionate about Puerto Rican heritage, identity, and the possibilities that lie ahead, this conversation offers an inspiring look at what Puerto Rico could become when it defines its own path forward.
