Since its first issue in 1987, the journal has proven to be one of Centro’s most important links to the public. A multidisciplinary, bilingual, refereed publication that welcomes scholarly articles in the humanities and the social and natural sciences, as well as interpretive essays, interviews, fiction, reviews and art. CENTRO Journal is published twice a year (spring and fall) and a yearly subscription includes both issues.

I find that the level of writing that appears in Centro Journal is of the highest standard, while the scope of its subject matter is not only varied, but well-researched, and most important , bold and unflinching before the metropole's gaze. While this journal manages to draw the attention of the academic community based on its adherence to the exigencies of serious writing, it also reflects the vigor and agency of the Puertorican diasporic community in its ever alluring and changing dimension.
