Breve Historia de Puerto Rico

Autor: José Carlos Arroyo Muñoz

Número de Páginas: 156

Ubicado en las Antillas, en el noreste caribeño, Puerto Rico es un archipiélago compuesto por más de 140 islas, actualmente bajo soberanía estadounidense como Estado Libre Asociado. Una geografía que ha marcado su historia de los últimos cinco siglos, destacándose por su importancia geopolítica. Territorio codiciado por múltiples potencias imperiales desde el el siglo XVI hasta la época contemporánea, fue conocido por los colonizadores españoles como la “llave de las Indias” o como la “Malta del Caribe” por los estadounidenses e incluso hoy se la considera “la colonia más antigua del mundo”. Este libro se centra en su historia contemporánea, desde 1800 hasta el presente. En el siglo XIX, y tras cuatro siglos bajo dominio de la Corona española, vive el despertar de su conciencia política y sucesivas luchas por alcanzar su autonomía política. Un autogobierno que alcanza finalmente en 1897, pero cuyos anhelos de libertad e independencia se ven frustrados con la invasión y colonización de Estados Unidos en 1898, en el contexto de la guerra hispanoestadounidense.

The Politics of Language in Puerto Rico

The Politics of Language in Puerto Rico

Autor: Amílcar Antonio Barreto

Número de Páginas: 262

In 1991, the Puerto Rican government abolished bilingualism, claiming that “Spanish only” was necessary to protect the culture from North American influences. A few years later bilingualism was restored and English was promoted in public schools. This revised edition of The Politics of Language in Puerto Rico is updated with an emphasis on the dual arenas where the language controversy played out—Puerto Rico and the United States Congress—and includes new data on the connections between language and conflicting notions of American identity. This book shows that officials in both San Juan and Washington, along with English-first groups, used these language laws as weapons in the battle over U.S.-Puerto Rican relations and the volatile debate over statehood.
