Guerra Contra Todos los Puertorriqueños

Autor: Nelson A Denis

Número de Páginas: 464

“Prepárese para ser enfurecido. Una lectura obligada y reveladora.” —Robert Domínguez, New York Daily News En 1950, después de cincuenta años de ocupación militar y gobierno colonial, el Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico montó una fallida revolución armada contra Estados Unidos. La violencia arraso con la isla: comandos nacionalistas fueron enviados a Washington a ajusticiar al presidente Harry Truman, se desataron tiroteos en ocho municipios, se incendiaron cuarteles policiacos y oficinas de correo. Para sofocar esta insurrección, el Ejército de Estados Unidos desplegó miles de tropas y ametralló dos pueblos desde el aire, marcando la primera vez en su historia que el gobierno estadounidense atacó de esta forma a sus propios ciudadanos. Por medio de narraciones orales, entrevistas personales, relatos de testigos oculares, testimonios del Congreso de Estados Unidos y archivos recientemente liberados al público por el FBI, Guerra Contra Todos los Puertorriqueños nos relata la historia de una revolución olvidada y su contexto en la historia grande de Puerto Rico, desde la invasión estadounidense de 1898 hasta la lucha actual por la plena autodeterminación de ...

Solidarity across the Americas

Autor: Margaret M. Power

Número de Páginas: 309

The Puerto Rican Nationalist Party (PNPR) understood that to successfully establish an independent nation it needed to generate solidarity across the Americas with its struggle against US colonial rule. It invested significant energy, personnel, and resources in attending regional conferences, distributing its literature throughout the hemisphere, creating solidarity committees, presenting its case to elected officials and the general public, and promoting the causes of oppressed peoples. The hemispheric outpourings of solidarity with Puerto Rican independence have been obscured by larger, later liberation movements as well as the anticolonial party’s ultimate failure to achieve independence. However, as this book shows, they were nonetheless central to anti-imperialists, nationalists, and revolutionaries from New York City to Buenos Aires. Margaret M. Power’s new history of the PNPR focuses on how it built a broad movement with active networks in virtually all of Latin America, much of the Caribbean, and New York City. This hemispheric view introduces a sprawling transnational network, nurtured by the PNPR from its founding in 1922 through its military actions of the 1950s...

Puerto Rico and the United States, 1917-1933

Autor: Truman R. Clark

Número de Páginas: 255

From 1917 to 1933, the United States kept Puerto Rico in limbo, offering it neither a course toward independence nor much hope for prompt statehood. The Jones Act of 1917 gave Puerto Ricans U.S. citizenship, but the status of the island didn't change. In 1922, a Supreme Court decision reaffirmed the 1901 principle that island possessions had no right to equal treatment with continental territories and states. Clark unfolds with clarity the painful truth of the United States' unsavory attempt at being both a democratic and imperial nation: governors were sent without the consent of the Puerto Ricans and with little training; no positive measures were taken to improve the poor economy; little thought was given and no formal policy established to resolve its status or foster self-government.

How to Hide an Empire

Autor: Daniel Immerwahr

Número de Páginas: 382

Named one of the ten best books of the year by the Chicago Tribune A Publishers Weekly best book of 2019 | A 2019 NPR Staff Pick A pathbreaking history of the United States’ overseas possessions and the true meaning of its empire We are familiar with maps that outline all fifty states. And we are also familiar with the idea that the United States is an “empire,” exercising power around the world. But what about the actual territories—the islands, atolls, and archipelagos—this country has governed and inhabited? In How to Hide an Empire, Daniel Immerwahr tells the fascinating story of the United States outside the United States. In crackling, fast-paced prose, he reveals forgotten episodes that cast American history in a new light. We travel to the Guano Islands, where prospectors collected one of the nineteenth century’s most valuable commodities, and the Philippines, site of the most destructive event on U.S. soil. In Puerto Rico, Immerwahr shows how U.S. doctors conducted grisly experiments they would never have conducted on the mainland and charts the emergence of independence fighters who would shoot up the U.S. Congress. In the years after World War II, Immerwahr...

Fracatán de sentimientos

Autor: Nilda Martínez

Número de Páginas: 169

“Una de las formas que el puertorriqueño se define y continúa con su puertorriqueñidad es manteniéndose en su cultura no importa en donde se encuentre. La diáspora puertorriqueña se conoce prácticamente en los Estados Unidos y es ese conglomerado de inmigrantes que se aglutinaron en específicos sectores de la Unión Norteamericana específicamente en la ciudad de Nueva York donde se establecieron e iniciaron con ese encuentro que les daba cohesión e identidad para permanecer como un grupo homogéneo y sólido ante una civilización de costumbres y formas de hablar distinto aunque en la ciudad de Nueva York para principios del siglo XIX había ya un grupo de asentamientos latinos y eran bastante considerables si sumamos a los españoles, cubanos y dominicanos, siendo estos dos últimos grupos muy dedicados a la fabricación de los tabacos tan cotizados y apreciados en el mundo sajón.”

La isla de la fantasia

Autor: Ed Morales

Número de Páginas: 362

A crucial, clear-eyed accounting of Puerto Rico's 122 years as a colony of the US. Since its acquisition by the US in 1898, Puerto Rico has served as a testing ground for the most aggressive and exploitative US economic, political, and social policies. The devastation that ensued finally grew impossible to ignore in 2017, in the wake of Hurricane María, as the physical destruction compounded the infrastructure collapse and trauma inflicted by the debt crisis. In Fantasy Island, Ed Morales traces how, over the years, Puerto Rico has served as a colonial satellite, a Cold War Caribbean showcase, a dumping ground for US manufactured goods, and a corporate tax shelter. He also shows how it has become a blank canvas for mercenary experiments in disaster capitalism on the frontlines of climate change, hamstrung by internal political corruption and the US federal government's prioritization of outside financial interests. Taking readers from San Juan to New York City and back to his family's home in the Luquillo Mountains, Morales shows us the machinations of financial and political interests in both the US and Puerto Rico, and the resistance efforts of Puerto Rican artists and...

Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice

Autor: Gary L. Anderson , Kathryn G. Herr

Número de Páginas: 1833

This is an important historical period in which to develop communication models aimed at creating opportunities for citizens to find a voice for new experiences and social concerns. Such basic social problems as inequality, poverty, and discrimination pose a constant challenge to policies that serve the health and income needs of children, families, people with disabilities, and the elderly. Important changes both in individual values and civic life are occurring in the United States and in many other nations. Recent trends such as the globalization of commerce and consumer values, the speed and personalization of communication technologies, and an economic realignment of industrial and information-based economies are often regarded as negative. Yet there are many signs - from the WTO experience in Seattle to the rise of global activism aimed at making biotechnology accountable - that new forms of citizenship, politics, and public engagement are emerging. The Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice presents a comprehensive overview of the field with topics of varying dimensions, breadth, and length. This three-volume Encyclopedia is designed for readers to understand the...

FELIÚ PESQUERA: DEMÓCRATA CRISTIANO

Autor: Néstor R. Duprey Salgado

Número de Páginas: 705

A traves del estudio de la trayectoria politica y el pensamiento de Jose Luis Feliu Pesquera, visto en sus discursos, columnas periodisticas, cartas y reflexiones, muchas de ellas hasta hoy ineditas o poco conocidas, se abre una ventana para estudiar la evolucion de la participacion en el debate social y politico nacional de los catolicos como grupo de opinion y participacion politica en Puerto Rico durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX a traves de un partido politico: el Partido Accion Cristiana (PAC). Las luchas y opiniones de Feliu Pesquera sobre la amplia gama de asuntos del debate nacional de esas decadas y su reflexion sobre los principales documentos del magisterio social cristiano y su aplicacion a la realidad puertorriquena, nos dan una vision panoramica a una manera de ver, juzgar y actuar en la sociedad de un cristiano cabal, que no por militante social y politico se aleja de pensar y meditar su fe en la cotidianidad y en la intimidad de su espiritu en constante conversacion con Dios y su palabra.

Latino History Day by Day

Autor: Caryn E. Neumann , Tammy S. Allen

Número de Páginas: 432

This title takes a calendrical approach to illuminating the history of Latinos and life in the United States and adds more value than a simple "this day in history" through primary source excerpts and resources for further research. Latino/a history has been relatively slow in gaining recognition despite the population's rich and varied history. Engaging and informative, Latino History Day by Day: A Reference Guide to Events will help address that oversight. Much more than just a "this-day-in-history" list, the guide describes important events in Latino/a history, augmenting many entries with a brief excerpt from a primary document. All entries include two annotated books and websites as key resources for follow up. The day-to-day reference is organized by the 365 days of the year with each day drawing from events that span several hundred years of Latino/a history, from Mexican Americans to Puerto Ricans to Cuban Americans. With this guide in hand, teachers will be able to more easily incorporate Latino/a history into their classes. Students will find the book an easy-to-use guide to the Latino/a past and an ideal starting place for research.
