America's Colony: The Political and Cultural Conflict between the United States

Description: America's Colony by Pedro A. Malavet Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An examination of the legal relationship between U.S. and Puerto Rico. Publisher Description The precise legal nature of the relationship between the United States and the people of Puerto Rico was not explicitly determined in 1898 when the Treaty of Paris transferred sovereignty over Puerto Rico from Spain to the United States. Since then, many court cases, beginning in 1901, have been instrumental in defining this delicate relationship.While the legislation has clearly established the nonexistence of Puerto Rican nationhood and lack of independent Puerto Rican citizenship, the debate over Puerto Ricos status continues to this day.Malavet offers a critique of Puerto Ricos current status as well as of its treatment by the U.S. legal and political systems. Puerto Rico is a colony of the United States, and Puerto Ricans living on this geographically separate island are subject to the United Statess legal and political authority. They are the largest group of U.S. citizens currently living under territorial status. Malavet argues that the Puerto Rican cultural nation experiences U.S. imperialism, which compromises both the islands sovereignty and Puerto Ricans citizenship rights. He analyzes the three alternatives to Puerto Ricos continued territorial status, examining the challenges manifest in each possibility, as well as illuminating what he believes to be the best course of action.
