Taking advan - tage of this influx of capital, the Puerto Rican government’s sport and recreation commission, led by Julio Enrique Monagas, sought out an island-wide plan to build sport and recreational facilities under a social justice ideology. The mass-produced athletic parks were built in both the major urban cities as well as in the rural towns, a process later dubbed a “sport revolution.” The government, through its sports commission, claimed that the mass athletic construction project was to uplift society, as well as a long awaited push for athletic moderniza - tion. However, more than top-down government policies, the politics of sport and recreation entailed popular demands for even more and better parks and programming. Thus, at stake with the plan, also known as “ Un parque para cada pueblo ,” was the negotiation over the terms of a hegemonic relation between the emerging Partido Popular Democrático , the citizenry, and in turn U.S. colonialism. 2014 artículo científico 0008-6533 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=39240402001 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=392 Caribbean Studies application/pdf Universidad de Puerto Rico Caribbean Studies (Puerto Rico) Num.2 Vol.42 |
