About this Item

Ex-library with the usual library markings (if not for the library markings this copy would be graded in fine condition); overall a nice used BOOK CLUB EDITION! Black boards with gilt lettering on the spine. 428 informative and historical pages nicely enhanced by black and white photographs and illustrations! "Beginning their chronicle with the year that Puerto Rico became a U.S. Territory after the Spanish-American War, Cesar Ayala and Rafael Bernabe connect the economic, political, cultural, and social aspects of the island's history. Puerto Rico in the American Century explores the conundrum of the island residents: they consider themselves a distinct people but are part of the American political system; they have U.S. citizenship but are not represented in the U.S. Congress; and they live on land that is neither independent nor part of the United States." (BOOK CLUB EDITION).
