This book is a socioeconomic interpretation of Puerto Rico's first
and most significant attempt to end its colonial relationship with
Spain. Looking at the imperial policies and conditions within
Puerto Rico that led to the 1868 rebellion known as "El Grito de
Lares," Dr. Jimenez de Wagenheim compares the colonization of
Puerto Rico with that of Spanish America and explores the reasons
why the island's independence movement began decades after Spain's
other colonies in the region had revolted. Through the extensive
use of previously unresearched archive material, she examines the
economic and social backgrounds of the leaders of the rebel
movement, corrects many errors of earlier accounts of the revolt,
and offers new interpretations of its impact on Spanish-Puerto
Rican relations.
