Product Review
“Politics, economics and culture are in constant dialogue within the narrative . . . providing a complex and at many points refreshing perspective of Puerto Rican history.”
- Against the Current
"Indispensible."
- Edgardo Rodriguez Julia, Primera Revista Latinoamerican de Libros
This will be the most important historical study of the island for years to come.
-Arlene Davila, New York University
This book is, simply put, the best one-volume contemporary history of the Puerto Rican people in any language.
-Francisco Scarano, author of Puerto Rico: cinco siglos de historia
Product Description
Offering a comprehensive overview of Puerto Rico's history and evolution since the installation of U.S. rule, Ayala and Bernabe connect the island's economic, political, cultural, and social past of residents of the island as well as the many Puerto Ricans in the diaspora. The authors discuss a wide range of topics, including literary and cultural debates and social and labor struggles that previous histories have neglected. Ayala and Bernabe argue that the inability of Puerto Rico to shake its colonial legacy reveals the limits of free-market capitalism.
