The Four Voyages of Christopher Columbus Cristóbal Colón
From Columbus to Castro : The History of
the Caribbean
1492-1969
Eric Williams
The history
of the Caribbean
is dominated
by the history
of sugar, which
is inseparable
from the history
of slavery;
which was inseparable,
until recently,
from the systematic
degradation
of labor in
the region.
Here, for the
first
time, is a
definitive
work about
a profoundly
important but
neglected and
misrepresented
area of the
world.

La peineta colorada (Español) por Fernando Picó
The Red Comb (English)
Por Fernando
Picó, SJ
Set in eighteenth-century
Puerto Rico,
the
intriguing
story, based
on historical
fact,
tells about
a young girl
and an older
woman
who help a
runaway slave
and outwit
the local
slave-catcher,
a wealthy and
admired man.
Though younger
readers may
need additional
historical
context to
understand
the story
fully, it is
well told and
raises important
issues about
race, freedom,
and courage.

 Almost a Woman
Por Esmeralda
Santiago
The broad outlines
of Santiago's
life story,
begun in When
I Was Puerto
Rican (1993)
and
continued here,
are familiar;
indeed, they
limn the quintessential
American experience--that
of a stranger
in a strange
land. Santiago,
writing prose
as notable
for its poise
and
directness
as for its
sharp detail,
picks
up where she
left off, with
her arrival
at
age 13 in Brooklyn,
New York, and
chronicles
her struggle
not only to
learn a new
language
and adjust
to a far more
diverse and
divisive
society...

the development

a Commonwealth

Shaping the Discourse on Space: Charity and
Its Wards in
Nineteenth-Century San Juan,
Puerto Rico Por Teresita Martínez
How municipal
offcials and
the Casa de
Beneficencia
shaped the
discourse on
public and
private
space and thereby
marginalized
the worthy
poor and vagrants,
"liberated"
Africans, indigent
and unruly
women, and
destitute children.
Drawing on
extensive
and innovative
archival research,
she shows
that the men
who comprised
the San Juan
ayuntamiento
and the board
of charity
regulated the
public
discourse on
topics such
as education,
religious
orthodoxy,
hygiene, and
family life,
thereby
establishing
norms for "correct"
social behavior
and chastising
the "deviant"
lifestyles
of the working
poor.
Constructing a Colonial People: Puerto Rico
and the United
States,
1898-1932 Por Pedro A. Cabán
This book provides
a new and comprehensive
interpretation
of how the
United States
attempted
to transform
Puerto Rico
from a neglected
backwater of
the Spanish
empire into
one
of its key
props in establishing
hegemony
in the western
hemisphere.
The book looks
at the formative
three-and-one-half
decades
of U.S. colonial
rule, when
the colony's
key institutions,
economic structures,
and
legal doctrines
were transformed.
Policy
papers, speeches,
newspaper articles,
and
memoirs from
the period
inform the
study
with particular
detail and
insight.
