Puerto Rico, one of the last and most populated colonial territories in the world, occupies a relatively unique position. Its lengthy interaction with the United States has resulted in the long-term acquisition of expanded legal rights and relative political stability. At the same time, that interaction has simultaneously seen political intolerance and the denial of basic rights, particularly toward those who have challenged colonialism. In Puerto Rico under Colonial Rule, academics and intellectuals from the fields of political science, history, sociology, and law examine three themes: evidence of state-sponsored political persecution in the twentieth century, contemporary issues, and the case of Vieques.

Our people are becoming aware of their own strength, which is what the colonial powers fear, explains Puerto Rican independence leader Rafael Cancel Miranda. In two interviews, Cancel Miranda -- one of five Puerto Rican Nationalists imprisoned by Washington for more than 25 years until 1979 -- speaks out on the brutal reality of U.S. colonial domination, the campaign to free Puerto Rican political prisoners, the example of Cuba's socialist revolution, and the resurgence of the independence movement today.

This book endeavors to explore the national purpose of the United States and of Puerto Rico. The author studies Puerto Rico from the time of 1898 to the late 1940's. She looks at the doctrine of national self-determination while analyzing the effects of colonialism in Puerto Rico at a time when worldwide decolonization prevailed. The author also investigates the hypocrisy of the United States' 'commitment' to democratic rule and its position as a colonial power. Research methods include the study of relationships between policymakers in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, and the analysis of political pressures and ideologies. The author also makes use of interpretive literature in order to further explore decolonization, national self-determination, and the role of the United States in the international system. This study of morality and politics will enlighten and educate students of nationalism, politics, and international relations.

Constructing Colonial People provides a new and comprehensive interpretation of how the United States attempted to transform Puerto Rico from a neglected backwater of the Spanish empire into one of its key props in establishing hegemony in the western hemisphere. The book looks at the formative three-and-one-half decades of U.S. colonial rule, when the colony's key institutions, economic structures, and legal doctrines were transformed. Policy papers, speeches, newspaper articles, and memoirs from the period inform the study with particular detail and insight. Cabán further examines the dynamics of U.S. expansionism during the Progressive Era and examines the normative and ideological constructions that were used to rationalize a campaign of territorial acquisition and colonial administration. He also demonstrates how the military and subsequent civilian regimes directed a process of institutional transformation, state building, and capitalist development.

A panoramic history of Puerto Rico from pre-Columbian times to today Puerto Rico is a Spanish-speaking territory of the United States with a history shaped by conquest and resistance. For centuries, Puerto Ricans have crafted and negotiated complex ideas about nationhood. Jorell Meléndez-Badillo provides a new history of Puerto Rico that gives voice to the archipelago’s people while offering a lens through which to understand the political, economic, and social challenges confronting them today. In this masterful work of scholarship, Meléndez-Badillo sheds light on the vibrant cultures of the archipelago in the centuries before the arrival of Columbus and captures the full sweep of Puerto Rico’s turbulent history in the centuries that followed, from the first indigenous insurrection against colonial rule in 1511—led by the powerful chieftain Agüeybaná II—to the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1952. He deftly portrays the contemporary period and the intertwined though unequal histories of the archipelago and the continental United States. Puerto Rico is an engaging, sometimes personal, and consistently surprising history of colonialism, revolt, and the creation of a national identity, offering new perspectives not only on Puerto Rico and the Caribbean but on the United States and the Atlantic world more broadly.

The powerful, untold story of the 1950 revolution in Puerto Rico and the long history of U.S. intervention on the island, that the New York Times says "could not be more timely." In 1950, after over fifty years of military occupation and colonial rule, the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico staged an unsuccessful armed insurrection against the United States. Violence swept through the island: assassins were sent to kill President Harry Truman, gunfights roared in eight towns, police stations and post offices were burned down. In order to suppress this uprising, the US Army deployed thousands of troops and bombarded two towns, marking the first time in history that the US government bombed its own citizens. Nelson A. Denis tells this powerful story through the controversial life of Pedro Albizu Campos, who served as the president of the Nationalist Party. A lawyer, chemical engineer, and the first Puerto Rican to graduate from Harvard Law School, Albizu Campos was imprisoned for twenty-five years and died under mysterious circumstances. By tracing his life and death, Denis shows how the journey of Albizu Campos is part of a larger story of Puerto Rico and US colonialism. Through oral histories, personal interviews, eyewitness accounts, congressional testimony, and recently declassified FBI files, War Against All Puerto Ricans tells the story of a forgotten revolution and its context in Puerto Rico's history, from the US invasion in 1898 to the modern-day struggle for self-determination. Denis provides an unflinching account of the gunfights, prison riots, political intrigue, FBI and CIA covert activity, and mass hysteria that accompanied this tumultuous period in Puerto Rican history.

This book introduces the history of the Taino Indians. Columbus came to Puerto Rico on his second voyage to the New World in 1493. There he found the Taino Indians, who mistakenly showed him the local abundance and wealth. Their fate was doomed ever since. The Taino Indians were not a laborious race to begin with. But after Puerto Rico was established as a colonial stronghold, they survived poverty, plagues and hurricanes on their own.

In this book, Javier A. Hernández tackles the Puerto Rico status issue and explains very succinctly why Puerto Rico will never become a U.S. state and why sovereignty is in the best interests of both Puerto Rico and the United States. "PREXIT: Forging Puerto Rico's Path to Sovereignty" is aimed at educating Puerto Ricans, Americans, and others around the world about the colossal mistake it would be to annex Puerto Rico as a U.S. state; explains the inner workings and legacies of U.S. colonial rule in Puerto Rico; and also proposes the viable option of National Sovereignty for Puerto Rico. In these pages, you'll discover:1. Why statehood will never happen;2. The many political, cultural, and economic reasons Puerto Ricans and Americans should support Sovereignty;3. The PREXIT strategies to begin Puerto Rico's decolonization and transition to Sovereignty; 4. Various political, democratic, security, defense, diplomatic, maritime, and economic development proposals, plans, and policies that would transition Puerto Rico from a corrupt and bankrupt colony to a democratic republic and economic powerhouse in the Caribbean and Latin America. This book hopes to generate debate and will attempt to outline and detail a viable plan to support Puerto Rico's path to sovereignty, particularly after the tumultuous events that led to the Puerto Rican Summer Revolution of 2019 that ousted the corrupt pro-statehood governor and threatened the legitimacy and foundation of the colonial regime, not to mention the recent 2020 protests. This book is divided into seven parts: 1. FAQs about Puerto Rico Sovereignty & Free Association; 2. The Ten Major Reasons Why Puerto Rico will Never become a U.S. State; 3. List of Colonial Atrocities, Repression & Policies Committed on Puerto Rico by U.S. Colonial Rule; 4. Invalidating the Statehooder & Colonialist Narratives; 5. Why Americans must Oppose Statehood & Support Sovereignty; 6. Developing a PREXIT Strategy & Why National Sovereignty is the Only Viable Option; 7. An Exhortation to Liberate Puerto Rico from the Barbarians The author states: "U.S. colonial rule in Puerto Rico has been a blatant failure and only sovereignty, freedom, and democracy can help Puerto Rico to not only protect its national culture, identity, and Spanish language, but to also support its own economic development in a globalized world economy. Some form of Puerto Rican sovereignty is inevitable. Whether total independence or a modality of sovereign free association via a compact or treaty, Puerto Rico will be free, and Puerto Ricans will finally be able to rule themselves and advance their political and economic interests in the international community and global economy."
