The magical may even matter in important ways to Puerto Ricans born in the United States. That much became evident in conversations with staff writer, Carmen Corchado.
Initially, we set to craft a joint piece that would pit s against s. Yet, the more we talked about it between us and with other Puerto Ricans, regardless of place of birth, it became clear that the number held meaning to all.
Siete ocho siete is the bridge through which I travel to bond with my abuelitos, titis and primos in Puerto Rico. When I was younger, whenever that siete ocho siete popped up on my caller I. Seeing that number instantly connected me to the island, and filled me with confidence.
Beyond a connection to my family, connected me to my identity. My cultural self-esteem grew with every muy bien I received on the other end. Despite that, even today the code holds much weigh.
My family may not live 3 houses away from one another, but we are definitely connected by 3 numbers. My digital block. My grandfather and great aunties down to the babies of my cousins born in the last couple years.
For Marcia, the reminds her of those trips to the island. What has it seen, and who has stepped on it, what did they look like. Sort of like propelling myself thru history, imagined but steeped in a reality that I constantly try to read about, and listen to my family when they speak about it. In reality, I must add another code—one that anchors me to a whole different experience I share with Boricuas born and raised in Brooklyn and the Bronx— Representing and stating the borough you were from in New York has the same effect for New Yorkers as a well-hung Puerto Rican flag.
The code was so important that my high school separated the seniors according to their borough during year book group pictures. In New York, a kind of five borough nationalism exists. In my case, being a from Brooklyn meant being a New Yorker through and through, and having the resilience in my blood to tackle whatever the city might throw my way. At the same time, also connects myself and others to the Puerto Rican community in our borough.
What do these areas codes mean? They are not just coordinates that locate us any and every time someone needs us. They hold the memories and values that trace the pieces of us. They must have liked it too though because they usually visited during Christmas. Carmen's take adds a layer to the question--one that takes into account not only the move from one place to the other, but the back and forth between the island and the United States that generations of Puerto Ricans have seen and lived for decades.
Through these years, symbols—the flag, Nuyorican poetry, seamless codeswitching, parades, and more—have emerged as anchors of a people on the move. In the end whether one keeps the code or not may matters less than what it stands for: a nation united beyond borders. Published in Centro Voices on 21 July Skip to main content. Search form.
