En este articulo exploro y aplico el concepto de cronotopo, ideado por Mijail Bajtin y apropiado por geografos, antropologos y literatos para entender la riqueza social y cultural de la costa. Por medio de la investigacion etnografica e historica exploro la costa como cronotopo, mirandola desde el acto de fundar los espacios, de nombrarlos (la toponimia) y de marcar a los otros (y a nosotros) como habitantes del paisaje fundado y nombrado (el gentilicio). La costa de Puerto Real de Cabo Rojo, el Barrio Puntas de Rincon, los manglares de Puerta de Tierra en San Juan y el Bosque Seco de Guanica sirven de escenario a esta reflexion que combina la antropologia, la historia y la literatura como fuentes fundamentales

The article faces the challenge of putting together the puzzle of understanding how migrants reconstruct their identities and imagine their communities, across borders and boundaries. The authors use the concept of ethnoscape to describe and analyze the historical processes of the formation of an ethnically diverse environment in the fishing context. From that perspective, they look at the trajectory of Puerto Ricans (the Papa-Dem), Cruzans, and migrants from the British islands of the Caribbean archipelago. The bulk of the data comes from an ethnographic fieldwork project (of a rapid assessment nature) in St. Croix and the examination of primary and secondary sources.

With the recent expansion of applied anthropology and application of non-traditional research methodologies, anthropologists are turning into consultants, managers, and coordinators supervising technology' transfer programs related to resource utilization. Our peers are participating in those settings because of the need for professionals capable of offering a holistic approach to management, who understand both organizational and clientele culture and behavior and the political process. With years of experience in conflictive milieus, such as colonial polities, we have backgrounds and skills useful in constructing buffer zones between diverse and opposing interests, and the ability to deal with the complexities of multi-ethnic settings.
