Puerto Rico: Historia de una nación / Puerto Rico: A National History
A new panoramic history of Puerto Rico from pre-Columbian times to today. For centuries, Puerto Ricans have crafted and negotiated complex ideas about nationhood. Meléndez-Badillo provides a new history of Puerto Rico, highlighting the vibrant cultures of the archipelago in the centuries before the arrival of Columbus, and capturing the full sweep of Puerto Rico’s turbulent history in the centuries that followed, from the first indigenous insurrection against colonial rule by the powerful chieftain Agüeybaná II, to the establishment of the Commonwealth in 1952. Puerto Rico is an engaging, sometimes personal, and consistently surprising history of colonialism, revolt, and the creation of a national identity, offering new perspectives not only on Puerto Rico and the Caribbean but also on the United States and the Atlantic world.
