Fundamental tenets of colonial historiography are challenged by
showing that US capital investment into this colony did not lead to
the disappearance of the small farmer. Contrary to well-established
narratives, quantitative data show that the increasing integration
of rural producers within the US market led to differential
outcomes, depending on pre-existing land tenure structures, capital
requirements to initiate production, and demographics. These new
data suggest that the colonial economy was not polarized into
landless Puerto Rican rural workers on one side and corporate US
capitalists on the other. The persistence of Puerto Rican small
farmers in some regions and the expansion of local property
ownership and production disprove this socioeconomic model. Other
aspects of extant Puerto Rican historiography are confronted in
order to make room for thorough analyses and new conclusions on the
economy of colonial Puerto Rico during the early twentieth century.
