Rethinking the Struggle for Puerto Rican Rights offers a
reexamination of the history of Puerto Ricans' political and social
activism in the United States in the twentieth century. Authors
Lorrin Thomas and Aldo A. Lauria Santiago survey the ways in which
Puerto Ricans worked within the United States to create communities
for themselves and their compatriots in times and places where
dark-skinned or 'foreign' Americans were often unwelcome. The
authors argue that the energetic Puerto Rican rights movement which
rose to prominence in the late 1960s was built on a foundation of
civil rights activism beginning much earlier in the century. The
text contextualizes Puerto Rican activism within the broader
context of twentieth-century civil rights movements, while
emphasizing the characteristics and goals unique to the Puerto
Rican experience. Lucid and insightful, Rethinking the Struggle for
Puerto Rican Rights provides a much-needed introduction to a
lesser-known but critically important social and political
movement.
