What is Puerto Rico : What Everyone Needs to Know® about?

Acquired By The United States From Spain In 1898, Puerto Rico Has A Peculiar Status Among Latin American And Caribbean Countries. As A Commonwealth, The Island Enjoys Limited Autonomy Over Local Matters, But The U.s. Has Dominated It Militarily, Politically, And Economically For Much Of Its Recent History. Though They Are U.s. Citizens, Puerto Ricans Do Not Have Their Own Voting Representatives In Congress And Cannot Vote In Presidential Elections (although They Are Able To Participate In The Primaries). The Island's Status Is A Topic Of Perennial Debate, Both Within And Beyond Its Shores. In Recent Months Its Colossal Public Debt Has Sparked An Economic Crisis That Has Catapulted It Onto The National Stage And Intensified The Exodus To The U.s., Bringing To The Fore Many Of The Unresolved Remnants Of Its Colonial History. Puerto Rico : What Everyone Needs To Know Provides A Succinct, Authoritative Introduction To The Island's Rich History, Culture, Politics, And Economy.^ The Book Begins With A Historical Overview Of Puerto Rico During The Spanish Colonial Period (1493-1898). It Then Focuses On The First Five Decades Of The U.s. Colonial Regime, Particularly Its Efforts To Control
