Lenny Ureña Valerio (born 1977) is a Puerto Rican scholar of Colonial and Polish history, who works at the University of New Mexico.[1]
Biography
[edit]Valerio was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to Puerto Rico at the age of 9. She studied as an undergraduate at the University of Puerto Rico before gaining a doctorate at the University of Michigan. She has described her personal experience of immigration and her simultaneously changing identity, from a White Dominican to Puerto Rican and then a person of color, as having shaped her interest in postcolonialism and subaltern studies.[2]
Valerio's interest in Polish colonial history began as a doctoral researcher. In order to undertake research on the topic she taught herself both the German and Polish languages.[3] Her doctoral project would eventually lead to the publication of her 2021 monograph Colonial Fantasies, Imperial Realities.[4]

In 2020 Valerio was the recipient of the Kulczycki Book Prize in Polish Studies awarded by the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies.[7]
