The book's transdisciplinary archive includes historical figures and their legacies; political and activist thought, textuality, and action as performative interventions; and performance and live arts pieces, objects, materialities, and texts as \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003epolitical\/activist actions. \u003ci\u003eAffect, Archive, Archipelago\u003c\/i\u003e begins by delving into the historical-political figures of Ramón Emeterio Betances, Luisa Capetillo, and Pedro Albizu Campos.
