Movimiento anexionista en Puerto Rico
This text examines the dynamics of the annexationist movement in Puerto Rico from its beginning in the 19th Century until its contemporary manifestation.
Puerto Rico
El eje central de este ensayo es la lucha librada en los últimos cien años entre las fuerzas adictas al sistema colonial (la dominación norteamericana} y las fuerzas que han pugnado por la liquidación de ese estado de cosas y por la definitiva independencia de Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico under Colonial Rule
Puerto Rico, one of the last and most populated colonial territories in the world, occupies a relatively unique position. Its lengthy interaction with the United States has resulted in the long-term acquisition of expanded legal rights and relative political stability. At the same time, that interaction has simultaneously seen political intolerance and the denial of basic rights, particularly toward those who have challenged colonialism.

Puerto Rico's Statehood Movement
Against a historical backdrop whose origins go back to the US's acquisition of Puerto Rico in the Spanish-American War, the author examines in close detail the evolution of the statehood movement in that territory. . . . This volume will interest mostly professional scholars, graduate students, and general readers attuned to the Puerto Rican statehood issue and to such matters as ethnicity and constitutional development in societies still governed from a distant metropole- in this case, from Washington DC. The book is generally well written and readable. It contains a useful bibliography on the Puerto Rican statehood movement and a servicable index. Choice Melendez presents the first compreh...
