Download or read book Prexit written by Javier a Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-14 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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."

Download or read book Puerto Rico written by Jose Luis Gonzalez and published by . This book was released on 2013-08-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this work, González dismantles the myth of a dominant Spanish and racially white national culture in Puerto Rican history. He claims that the national identity is primarily Mestizo (mixed race) with a significant contribution from Africa. González calls the African slaves and Mestizo peasantry the first Puerto Ricans because they were the first inhabitants who had to make the island their home. Having witnessed successful uprisings in neighboring Haiti, the Spanish authorities encouraged white immigrants to settle in Puerto Rico in an attempt to "whiten" the population, then thought to be tilting dangerously to the advantage of the Afro-Antilleans. These immigrants became the small but influential class of landowners and, later, urban professionals. According to the author's grand metaphor, Afro-Antilleans and Mestizos constitute the first "storey," or tier, of the "Puerto Rican house" of the title, landowners the second, urban professionals the third, and the managerial class the fourth.
Download or read book The State and Small scale Fisheries in Puerto Rico written by Ricardo Pérez and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on anthropological and historical research in Puerto Rico from 1996 to 2002, Pérez's study explains how and why state intervention has retarded the development of small-scale fishing economies by discouraging opportunities for capital accumulation in coastal communities. Drawing on interviews with fishers, fishery agents and scientists, and government officials, along with household surveys and archival research, Pérez analyzes the rural economic development of the southern coast of the island and documents the contradictory effects of fisheries policy and industrial development in three separate fishing communities. Aided by the marketing strategies of the fisheries to create demand for their products, Puerto Rico's development policy stimulated immigration to fill temporary jobs, but this situation resulted in serious degradation of the coastal environment and fishery resources upon which the local population depended. Government intervention in fisheries policy also created contradictions between fisheries development and modernization on the one hand and conservation of fish stocks and resources influencing them on the other. Pérez employs a variety of historical and ethnographic methods to shape an analysis extending beyond Puerto Rican fisheries to illuminate the discouraging interplay between household-based production regimes, intermittent infusions of state funds and expertise, and the strong stimulant of large-scale, though temporary, development projects.

Download or read book War Against All Puerto Ricans written by Nelson Denis and published by Nation Books. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Puerto Rico written by Jorge Duany and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 local, political, and economic institutions as well as to 'Americanize' the Island's culture and language. Jorge Duany delves into the demographic, economic, political, and cultural features of contemporary Puerto Rico--the inner workings of the Commonwealth government and the island's relationship to the United States. Lastly, the book explores the massive population displacement that has characterized Puerto Rico since the mid-20th century. Despite their ongoing colonial dilemma, Jorge Duany argues that Puerto Ricans display a strong national identity as a Spanish-speaking, Afro-Hispanic-Caribbean nation. While a popular tourist destination, few beyond its shores are familiar with its complex history and diverse culture.
