| Summary | "Las fiestas de San Juan" by Federico Asenjo y Arteaga is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The text explores the significance and evolution of the San Juan festival in Puerto Rico, detailing both its origins and its contemporary celebrations as of 1868. The work aims to preserve the traditions associated with these festivities while also engaging in a broader reflection on the cultural identity of the Puerto Rican people through their historical practices and customs. At the start of the text, Asenjo presents an overview of the importance of traditions for both individuals and communities, likening them to a collective memory that should not be forgotten. He sets the stage for a historical review of the San Juan festivities, discussing their origins and the various changes they have undergone over time, particularly in relation to societal developments and cultural shifts. Asenjo emphasizes the need to preserve these traditions despite transformations, illustrating how festivals like San Juan serve as vital expressions of communal identity and pride. The introduction highlights the dual nature of the festivities, combining religious observance with lively public celebrations, including horse races, which uniquely characterize Puerto Rican culture.
